In case anyone wants to INCREASE cube-related luck, I invented a game for that: add a "doubling die".

When triplets are NOT rolled, ignore the doubling die and set it aside. When there IS a triplet, the cube turns without moving. I've played this variant a few times and was surprised to see how much it changes checker play as well!
