DICE SET REPLACEMENT GAME FOR BACKGAMMON SET WITH DOUBLING DICE

Product Information

Traditional sets often use stones that are cylindrical in shape, with flat, round surfaces for easy movement on the board. Real-time online play began with the First Internet Backgammon Server in July 1992, [39] but there are now a range of options, [40] many of which are commercial. Modern backgammon follows the same rules as tabula for hitting a blot and for bearing off; and the rules for re-entering pieces in backgammon are the same as those for initially entering pieces in tabula.

However, the rule of 8 is generally a good guideline that can help beginners make tactical decisions.

He loses two points in each of the games he loses (-6) and wins two points in the game he wins (+2). These colours often serve as a delightful visual element, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the game.

A roll of 6 and 6 means that the player has four sixes to use, and he may move any combination of checkers he feels appropriate to complete this requirement. The advantage of a 6-6 can also be wasted if you are trying to re-enter from the bar or if your board is crunched. The same checker may be moved twice, as long as the two moves can be made separately and legally: six and then three, or three and then six. The quadrants are referred to as a player’s home board and outer board, and the opponent’s home board and outer board.If all of a player's checkers are on points lower than the number showing on a particular die, the player must use that die to bear off one checker from the highest occupied point. For example, if playing for one dollar a point and the doubling cube shows 4, then the loser pays the winner four dollars.

The Royal Game of Ur from 2600 BC may also be an ancestor or intermediate of modern-day table games like backgammon and is the oldest game for which rules have been handed down. If a player rolls before his opponent has completed his turn by picking up the dice, the player’s roll is voided.The object in backgammon is to move all of your checkers around the board into your home board and then bear them off. If you get far ahead, offer that double but don’t get too excited: you’ll want to keep your head in the game. A backgammon or triple game is worth 3 points and occurs when the losing player has borne off no pieces and has one or more on the bar and/or in the winner's home table (inner board).
