Onderwerp: backgammon rules and their variations where ever
the doubling cube was already requested as feature ...
there is some nonsense circulating about the one and only truth
some people seem to claim as their own ... aka philosophy aliens ... :P
actually I'm surprised that the commonly misused rule of restricting
my choice which die to use first comes from different places than
North-Korea - where anything related to freedom might cause pain.
so I am definitely pleased that it is not the brainking rule ...
as nobody from my closer circles uses that gamesense-distortion either.
claiming it as kinda 'pro' is just blonde-pro imho ...
rules are judged by their impact on the smartness of the game, not static.
we call 'our' rules 'pro' of course ... :P
amazingly no player here seems to miss a certain core-rule,
probably too complicated for some of the easy talkers who
don't even know their previous post when nailed to it ... :O
this fiddling in the house after removing of stones started
is children's play and sheer annoying ... our rule:
you may arrange your house-position as long as you haven't
removed any stones yet - then moving must happen from the
highest 'tacken' (as we call the triangles on the board)
to avoid the boredom and cowardliness of evading due strikes ...
to clarify - everything as known even here :D - until the
first stone is removed - that's actually a new phase - and even
if you would love so badly to move a '1' from tacken 4 to 3
you mustn't if you still have stones on tacken 5 or 6 ... ~*~

Danoschek, it is certainly a rule of backgammon that you must use both dice if you can. This means in certain situations you don't have a choice. This little but important rule should be implemented before any other backgammon variants are added IMHO.
