Joker Cube

The strategies would be interesting. Despite the name of the variation, saving your cube until your opponent hits a 17-1 or 35-1 shot is almost surely suboptimal. The math changes even for simple situations - imagine the power of the joker cube in a simple pay-now decision, for example. A 12-number shot becomes a 4-number shot if you can force your opponent to roll a hitting number twice in a row. Thus, a standard position with a racing lead against an anchor becomes much stronger, which in turn affects the value of many other positions.
