Thank you in advance.
I don't think it is intended to be a specific game. Amazon sells the same thing without the doubling cube for use with various card and dice games. The doubling cube is for gambling purposes. If a player wants to double the bet, he/she places the cube with the number 2 up. Then, the other player can concede and pay the original bet, or continue playing with the bet doubled. After that, the other player can double the bet again by placing the cube with the number 4 up.
