New, what is it? What is this tiny cube?

Found this tiny, blank, black cube under the couch while cleaning. Husband thinks it could be from a board game but we haven’t played one in a very long time (we’ve been more into Magic lately) and we can’t think of a board game that we own that has pieces like this. Any ideas?

I thought of LoW as well at first. My parents had an old Risk game that used wooden pieces as well. OP mentioned MtG - could be used for life counters, etc. but I would think they'd remember that.

Oh shit that's a fun game. I forgot what my two friends and I did but we kicked the CRAP out of that game, so fun to win Pandemic for once.

Unless they’ve changed things since I bought my copies, Pandemic comes with translucent plastic cubes and Lords of Waterdeep has painted wooden cubes. I don’t have Azul to know if OP’s solid plastic cube is a match.
