Subject: Backgammon Board Orientation
Now that the obvious Back/Nackgammon bugs have been sorted out, can we do something about this. As far as I can make out the boards for backgammon and all the variations are upside down for both players. ie The 2 backmen (4 for Nack) start on your own side of the table instead of your opponents side as they should. The boards shown to each player just need to be swapped over so that White would see what Black sees now and vice versa. This would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

I have to agreee i am very confused playing gammon here.. one turn i veer off to the top left another bottom right.. i think.. anywho if we could have a setting so that we always veer off to the bottom right i think it would be easier to play.. other players have said the same thing to me.. I have no idea if this would be hard to program in to the game or not.. if so then Im sorry for asking for it :-)

I agree and I also have a problem seeing the dice spots, the color or size is a problem to me

If you play on a real board, one player bears off to his bottom right and the other to his bottom left since one player goes clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. This is fairly easy to get used to. The problem here is bearing off from the top of the board which you never do normally.
