Its all in the prime I think, all those checkers, its easy to make a nice big prime and lock the opponent in, a checker or 2 left on the bar, and the shots are usually there as they find themselves stacking up in their home board.
I guess I play it a little like race as well, but then I tend to treat my race games like regular backgammon really.
Of course at present most opponents are feeling their way and dont seem to be playing with much strategy ...(yet)...:-)
I want to apology to all those that i just recently timed-out on... I just returned from vacation and thought I could save the 2 days I had over-scheduled... in doing so I timed put in 16 games.... had I made my moves first before changing the scheduled vacation days... it would not have happened.... so to all those involved.. I am deeply sorry ... and look forward to other matches with you all soon... ----- Sharon----

Well when I first started playing this, I played it like I do my Backgammon Race games (which I'm pretty good at) - which is try to keep a few checkers in the bar to try and mess up the other person.... but this did not work!
So my new stategy is to try to play it more like backgammon - that is get the checkers off my bar more quickly. Not sure how well this will work, but I'm at least started to win more games now.... :-)
The Dream Team is primarily a fellowship for the backgammon variants. We have a strong team already and are open to all bg players who are looking to play with some really nice people.
We have weekly fellowship tournaments happening. Just pop on over or send me a message and I will invite. The only players unwelcome at The Dream Team are those who practise bad sportsmanship!
Anyone had any thought about how CBG strategy differs from regular BG? My early thoughts -- having only started a number of games -- are that there is a great advantage in seizing 3 or more points in both your own home board and your opponent's as early as possible. It can be very constricting to still have 3 or 4 checkers on the bar while your opponent holds 3 or more points in his home. While in BG it can be a disadvantage to make your own 1 or 2 point early in the game, the extra checkers available in CBG may make that less of a consideration.
More so even than in regular BG, the emphasis is on position. I have been slotting strategic points -- especially the 5 and 7 points on both sides -- more aggressively.
I have yet to fully understand the implications of being able to build a prime and still have 8 checkers left over. I will probably learn more about that as the games I am playing progress. A related point I will be watching closely is whether it makes sense to play a massive backgame, with 6 or 8 checkers (or even more) deep in the opponent's board. Timing will need to be relearned from scratch, I think, in light of the additional pipcount available.
Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and just wanted to say howdy. I make multiple moves a day and love playing the games. Anyone wanting to play backgammon let me know and I would be happy to play you. I like making new friends. Carol
hey...i've finished 4 games of crowded gammon...why no rating....at first i figured there wasn't enough players to start a ratings page yet but now i see other people are already rated....why not me....???
If your opponents' ratings are much below yours it will not change your rating, because actually applying the formula will cause your rating to go down. If your opponent's rating was not a lot below yours it should have gone up.
If you click on "My profile" on the left (or top, if you're using row layout) and click the blue (edit) beside "My Profile". There are option buttons there that allow you to select the appropriate selection :-)
when a players piece is hit in their own home quarter it would add anywhere from 25 to 19 pips to their score...depending on which space it was on when it was hit....if it's hit on their opponets home quarter it would only add 1 to 6 points to their score....i wish i could explain better...maybe after another coffee i'll think a little clearer and be able to explain better..lol
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.
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...:)
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 have 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.

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?
