Help! The Backgammon boards are upside down. I can't stand on my head long enough to play a game!

Hopefully i'll win then lol

Same here! Can any of you who've been here a bit longer tell me if there's a way to reverse the board?

yeah its too confusing barring off to the left instead of the right, i feel lost here and i know how to play the game.

ack! confusing and too small pieces in this game!!!

im on a webtv and the pieces are flying all over the board and I cant make legal moves!!!

Same here!!!!

its all backwards for me... needs to be set up like the boards set up at gt... lol

Please be patient, I cannot do everything at once.

THANKS FOR BACKGAMMON. While your fixing things, bigger dice please.

Reversing the boards would be nice...but for Nackgammon, the board is bearing in the wrong direction no matter how the board is playing.
In the starting setup, the four pips in spaces 1 and 2, and 23 and 24 should have to move around the whole board before they are at "home". They are currently set up so that they are ready to be "beared" off.

I actually really like the colour of the boards & dont have a problem with seeing the black counters, it is confusing playing upside down though, but after having a couple of games Im actually getting used to it! lol Fencer thanks so much for installing backgammon & I know you'll sort the minor details in time! :o) lol

how about swapping dice order?

I see black men on a purple pip, no problem

About Nackgammon - it is pretty possible, I've just got a start position picture somewhere and maybe it is not correct. I'll fix it.
Dice swapping - click on "Swap dice" link under the board.
Lobster: Hey, I didn't know about this rule! Thanks. I'll fix it.

Stingeroni is right. The start position is correct but the men go the wrong way. It's hilarious!

I can't see The Backgammon Dice they are too Small?

Thanks,Fencer for fixing the Nackgammon

just started a game of backgammon race. Made 1 move & lost the game ??? whats happening here ?

I just passed my first turn, and won.

You are right....if doubles are thrown when each player throws one die to determine who goes first.....the die is rolled again by each player.
Doubles should never be the first roll.

We didn't even move yet and said other opponent won.

this is soo confusing. also sometimes I have a 5 and 3 and it will give me a 4 and a 2 --- bugs"??

I have been playing Back & Nack for 2 months & its not a rule i have heard of.! - Thanks for raising this issue, i shall be watching for this happening.:)

I learned to play Backgammon on an actual board I do know that it is infact a rule.
Thanx lobster for the back up. LOL

LOL...with an attitude like yours lobster, I think we'll all gladly roll out the red carpet...right out the front door. :)

Is there anyway that I can make those darn dice bigger? I'm using a webtv not a Computer :)

l play backgammon on a lot of sites and ld like to say that this site actually has true random rolls, its the first site lve seen that does, wtg fencer, l love it

I just want to say hello to all players,and I'm glad to see that there is Backgammon and Anti-Backgammon to this site too.I'm open to all invitations

Is Pip count available and I don't know how to display it or is it not yet a feature ?

On my games, it is just below the board. It says Points: XX

I started a 5pt game expecting to see the doubling cube...ahhhhhh now I find I have to play 5 games instead (too late to delete) I also would like to know if a gammon is going to count in a 5pt game? LOL or do I just have to play and find out?

I think it is safe to assume you are playing 5 single point games - no cube, no gammons.

I have also started a backgammon tourney. No limit to the number of players. Anyone from Brain Pawn membership and up can play. It starts tomorrow (20th), so hurry and sign in if you'd like to play. This will be a regular tournament, with a new one starting at regular intervals (to be determined yet).

Click on the Tournament link on the left hand side of the page, and click on my tournament name to join.

It should be fixed. Sorry.

Fencer, Thanks for getting the boards "right".
Now, how about the dice size?

Will be done. Soon :-)

While you're at it. :o)
You always roll your dice onto your right-hand half of the board, which means your opponent's dice are always on the left.

I started a nackgamon tournament with 3 days time out, and nobody has signed up :(
This is my first one, and hopefully not my last. So if you like nackgammon, or backgammon and want to try something a lil different, please come play. Sign ups end on the 27th..everyone is welcome :):)

I might be away for a short time but will be looking to join in with that when I come back.

if the points at the bottom of the anti game is supposed to be the number of pips left...it's not right....i had a game that i hit a players piece and instead of the piece adding 5 points to their score it added 48...lol..i mean that's 2 full boards of pips....i don't usually play by the points anyway but i just noticed it...kinda gave me a good chuckle...:)

There seems to be a bug in the pip count when there is a man on the bar. It looks like he is counted twice giving a count 25 too high.

I would like to know how I should count the points correctly, can you help me? :-)

And what is the correct value for a man on the bar?

Each man on the bar should add 25 to the pip count.

is there any way to lighten the background? i can hardly see the black tiles, and the dice are hard to see. thx. for fixing the direction of the boards.

Later. Working on 10 features at the same time [including this one].

If you are looking for a new opponent for
Backgammon, please send me an invite.

okay, thx. Fencer.
