Actually now that I think about it, it would be nice is Backgammon race had a different color around the board.

It does have a different starting position, but what happens to me a lot is that I will leave 1 or 2 of my pieces on the "bar" until later in the game. If I'm not paying attention, I will quickly look at the game, see the pieces on the bar (and thinking that it is regular Backgammon), I will start to move them off the bar.......... instead of moving pieces that are already on the board since I don't have to take the pieces off the bar yet.

For Nackgammon - it is similar enough to regular Backgammon that it does not need a different color, but for race... I could use a light green or blue or something... :-)

P.S. I also agree that Extinction Chess needs a different color.
