First: I think when Fencer gets some extra time, it would be nice to get all the rules correct. But I would prefer that he use his time now for new games, and other improvments. Having the rules not there is not hurting the game.
Kevin: For the example of if someone rolls a 2 and a 6 - and only 1 checker can move 6 spaces, and many can move 2 spaces. Then when the person moves the one checker that can move 6 spaces - 2 spaces instead of six, leaving the 6 die to do nothing.
Anyway, most of the time it is to a persons advactage to move all 8 spaces, but at times it is not. If that person was made to move 6 spaces, it might "open" up the board for the other player to hit his checker.
... maybe by that player just moving his "2" checker, he doubles up everything - where if he was made to follow the rules, he might have to open a few spots up for a chance of the other player to "hit" him.
