]]> Comment on FCBG – Rules by fowgre http://fcbg.wordpress.com/fcbg-rules/#comment-43 Mon, 14 May 2007 20:10:03 +0000 http://fcbg.wordpress.com/fcbg-rules/#comment-43 In the modern game, as it’s normally played, when a player rolls a doublet (2 of the same number) that player is entitled to four moves instead of two. That ends the player’s turn. He/she does not get an extra roll of the dice.

Having said that, there are many, many variants in backgammon. For some of the more common variants, visit http://www.bkgm.com/faq/Variants.html. Since you’re not playing in a club setting, a sanctioned tournament, etc., you’re free to make your own variant if you want to. What’s most important, is that the participants understand before the game/match begins, what rules are in effect.

I hope this helps.

I maintain that once you have rolled doubles and have completed your turn that you do not get to roll again. Other members of the family maintain that rolling doubles affords you another turn. I can’t find anything on Google that gives the rules about this one way or another. Please help!

Thank you.

Or at least until I mess up again. Thanks for the help Andrew.
