Sujet: "backrunners" - new game proposal
modifié par Herlock Sholmes (1. Août 2009, 21:21:28)
this time addition to backgammon family ... all the rules stay the same with simple modification ...
in order to win player has to bear off ONLY two back checkers ... they have to be marked in some way of course ... this variant calls for a different strategy since these two back runners are to be protected along the way ... remember, in order to start bearing off all the checkers have to be in home section as in regular game ... be careful not to cover unnecessary your back runners ...
I played something similar with only one special checker and a special dice that allowed to move backwards ... my variant is simpler ...
Cheers,
Andy.

MadMonkey:thanks for your remark ... there is only one problem with this variant ... it's extremely
exciting and addictive ... and all of a sudden huge portion of your "established" knowledge about backgammon becoming useless ... same story as with regular chess and atomic chess (or any other good variant of course) ...
If this will be ever implemented I would suggest putting a  dot of opposite color on every back checker  ... this way it will be obvious where these runners are.
Cheers,
Andy.

Herlock Sholmes: Well i will add it to my list i am compiling for Fencer. Hopefully as i am not busy, that should be ready for him to look through.

As i can not see any reason why not, unless Fencer just does not want it, it would seem very easy to code.
The only difference to the normal Backgammon code, is just to check the first 2 pieces that are beared off are the 2 'back' pieces. It seems easy or is there anything i am missing ?

MadMonkey: thanks, I am not a programmer but even to my limited understanding it shouldn't be a big task to
implement ... you're right, only marking these runners should be done and some "IF-ELSE" when bearing off starts ...
Cheers,
Andy.

Herlock Sholmes: I like the sound of this...would love to do some play-testing.  Did I understand this correctly: ONLY the 2 back checkers are ever borne off?  (as opposed to the winner being the first to bear off those 2--although other checkers could be borne off along the way toward that goal?)

wetware:bearing off is as usual ... all the checkers have to be in home section like in a regular game in order bearing off to begin  ...
however, the winner is who bears off his/her 2 backrunners first ... game ends at this moment and no other bearing off is required ... but before it happens the other checkers (some of them) will probably be born off
first, due to configuration in home section and the roll, of course.
Did it help ?
Andy.
