Dolittle: Sorry I wasnt paying to much attn to the board here, its been so quiet so long and I havnt been here much, but im here now and eager to help ya with anything I can

Skittles: Hi there, know what you mean about the board being quiet....the halma board is dead!!

Dolittle: It's time we liven these boards up then

Skittles: The game would go faster if one could bring out a stone on a one as well as a six!
That's the way I always played it.

Dolittle: never heard of that version must be a new one wasnt around when i was a kid

Dolittle: that's how I've always played as well

nodnarbo: I have a board that i've had for years and always played by those rules. Of course it goes by a different name.

Ludo variant I would like to see:

Differences:

1. Get a piece out with either a 1 or 6

2. Roll 2 dice on each turn. Can split up dice, or use both dice on same piece. Doubles does nothing special.

Anyway, that is a version i would like to see - which I think would also speed up the game

coan.net: I agree with those and think it would generate more interest in the game if they were instituted.

coan.net: You should post that in the feature requests, thats really simular to how I've played as a kid!!!

Dolittle: Yeah I've played it that way myself, I think its been suggested to Fencer already tho but it doesnt hurt to try again
