Introducing the DGT CUBE

The DGT CUBE ™ and DGT PYRAMID are smart digital timing devices that create new dynamics in any game up to 6 players (CUBE) or to 4 players (PYRAMID).
There are five basic timing systems available with the DGT Multiplayer Game Timers CUBE ™ And PYRAMID ™. Within a chosen timing system, different times can be allocated to different players.
At the end of a player’s turn, the CUBE or PYRAMID is passed on to the next player by turning the colour of the next player to the top. This stops the time of the last player and auto-starts the timing of the new player.
During the game, timing can be stopped and restarted by putting the CUBE on its base. Use this for example to solve a dispute by consulting the dictionary in Scrabble® or to fight a battle in RISK™.
The optional buzzer makes it easy to notice the approaching time limits.
 
The DGT CUBE ™,  is available since the spring, The DGT PYRAMID ™ will hit the market in August.
