Don't hang about do you?

Why, would you prefer Tavli instead?

I always get burned at fevga! I'm not too bad at portes and plakoto though.

Is it on the 'to do' list?

13. Ianuarie 2005, 13:21:20
Fencer 
Yes. But I must modify the system first, there are too many variants of some games.

I bet there'll be a load of Greeks coming to the site when you do have tavli! Although portes is the most popular individual game, the set of three is regularly played in tavernas and the coffee shops.

tavli = backgammon isnt it ? *ponder*

Tavli is a set of three gammon games... portes, plakoto and fevga. They are usually played as a set for points. Portes is virtually the same as backgammon on here.

    is there a way to find the average number of moves over all finished hyper gammon games so far ?

    and the minimum and maximum number of moves ? ;)

    Subiectul: Backgammon variants
    I always thought Acey-Duecey was the only variant of Backgammon, and on this site it is about the only one that isn't on it! Any chance of getting it?

    All hits, all the time.
    Is it possible to win in three or four turns with the right rolls of the dice? I have a game going with pgt that's already made it to move 20! Longer than some regular games of Backgammon.

    How do you play a backgammon game in just 20 moves?
    Just running along is somehow missing the spirit of the game,,,,

    Blackadder Mr K:
    Regular Backgammon 19 moves no resignation all blots off, I lost the game:

    Hyper Backgammon after 21 moves, looks like I'm losing it on the next turn as I didn't roll what I needed:
    http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=600158

    I'm not sure what you mean by the spirit of the game. Some games there's lots of drinking and partying at the bar, other games we just go on our merry way and pass each on the street. That's just how Backgamon goes.

    Surely the "spirit" of the game is trying to get your pieces off first! Fortunately the rules are such that the strategy and tactics used are not always obvious.

    Lots of skill in getting double sixes when it's the only point open and you have two blots drinking at the bar and hitting one of mine one the way out.
    Congratulations on your tournament win. You pulled a rabbit out of your hat with this one. I had you pegged for third place at one time during it.

    The skill is in calculating the correct bribe and still leave enough money for the other games.

    Rex Nihilo: could be .. i dont know 'trouble' :)

    'mens erger je niet' is translated into english as 'hey dont stress' .. or something like that :)

    its a game children play a lot, and which is cheated a lot in when grown ups play it together ;)

    its mainly backgammon for 4 players (6 can be done as well on a variant), all 4 players moves in the same direction (clockwise i think), they all have 4 pieces which start on their bar, and have to make it to the end (their home). they can only move from their bar when they throw a 6
    in 'mens erger je niet' only 1 die is used, and it isnt allowed to have more than 1 piece on a space (so no way to defend yourself other than to make it home as soon as possible, and to stay out of reach ;))

    but this could be changed to create some sort of multi player backgammon :)

    The geometry is a bit different, and it's "Pop'o'Matic", but it's the same basic Parchisi varient.

    wouldnt it be fun to have something like that if there was a multi player interface on here ? ;)

    lol the same for me .. so i could be a bit wrong on the rules ...

    but lets instead try to create a nice 4 player backgammon .. it could be something like that .. and would be a nice first variant to allow with multiple players i think ?

    (hmm maybe fencer wants to add new games for multiplayer instead of variants .. not sure .. ;))

    Subiectul: Re: Ludo/"Mens erger je niet"
    Hrqls: Strange. The rules of Ludo as described are quite different from "Mens erger je niet", as I have played on both side of the Atlantic. (Doubles? Penalty on three 6's? Another throw when taking an opponents pawn? Play dice in the order you want? None of this is in the rules of "Mens erger je niet")

    AbigailII: oops ... i didnt read through the complete rules .. just watched the board setup, and noticed you started with 4 pieces in your nest and could enter the path when you throw a 6 ... thats when i stopped reading ;)

    i am back to studying i guess ;)

    (it seems today is not a good game for me to play games which i have to study ;))

    triple 6 gives penalty - hey! thats unfair! never played that

    bonus for moving into home - new to me

    missing your home - impossible how we played it

    bonus when you capture another player - uh oh .. double nasty .. new to me

    doubles ??? cool!


    --- ok remove these rules and you will have 'mens erger je niet' the way i played it as a kid .. i think ;)

    Subiectul: dice rolls in backgammon and varation games
    Are the dice rolls determined by a random number generator or something here? They seem to act much more different here than on another turn based game site which I will leave the name out of this post but I am sure many of you who read this will know who I mean. That other site the dice act strange to me.
