Deal Cube Contest: A Winner Crowned!

The first deal cube tourney is over and we have a winner! This fine Black Jack Table submitted by none other than James Bond! Fitting ending for a riveting Olympics in London! The reality is that the winner was submitted anonymously, as some of the deal cubes were submitted that way and I affixed a name to them for fun.

We will kick off our second tourney in a week or so. I still have room for five more cubes for the third tourney – so if you have something that you want to see in bright lights, please email a picture to me. Thanks to all that submitted cubes for the first tourney – there were many upsets along the way based on how I had seeded the cubes. I will share some of that information soon enough…

I’m still looking for the oldest cube known to mankind. Right now, it’s this 1969 cube from Arthur Katz. Check out the simplicity of the cube – and see if you can remember the underwriters!
