There is a Rule in my country: all pieces from the first roll must be placed, not moved. It prevents starting player from moving too much ahead and endanger opponent's starting field.
I mean: when the game starts, we have all our pieces "piled up" and then we must "land" all of it into game board according to rolls we get. So you have 2 steps:
placing pieces,
moving pieces.
While you have that "pile", you can chose to "place" (enter) a piece OR move already placed one. The Rule I was talking says that if one player's first roll is a double, they must place all pieces and move none of them until the next roll.
Here is an example: My first roll is 6-6 and I play 24-18(2) 18-12(2). I.e. place 2 pieces, then move it. This way, I have direct hit upon your field and it is very likely to block your men in the very beginning of the game. This would happen if the Rule is not in power.
What you think guys, should we adopt this rule here on BK as well?
