I thing that two games are getting mixed up and they are anti-backgammon and Nackgammon. In anti I have fine that u don't want to make blocks so the person you are playin can get around the board faster then you. In nackgammon you start with four man in your oppents base. But I could be wrong it would not be the first time this has happened and more then not will be the last time. lol
