I have started a request for a turn based 7-point match of backgammonmf. If someone that can play 1-2 moves per day wants to join I can test the version as well.

i had a game (Twilight Imperium 4ed) where my Warsun missed 7 times of 9. While probability of one hit (1 of 1) is 80%, probability of such event is about 0.0003 or 0.03%. My opponent (premium user) had the same Warsun and missed only 2 of 9. That is usual result. If it is a usual result, please te...

This is how the dice deck works: Each turn a card is drawn from the virtual stack forming the dice number for that turn. If the stack runs out it will be created again in the same way. Very first post of this thread. Yes, after 36 cards the procedure starts again and will produce a totally new set ...

euklid314, I think you’re mixing up the Jacoby Rule and the Crawford Rule. The Jacoby Rule is a rule under which the score for a gammon or backgammon win remains at 1 point unless one of the players doubles. It is not used on BGA. It is primarily used in unlimited games to prevent the game from dra...

I have not played the new version but if a new version of Backgammon is planned, please address the one wrong rule implementation that exists since the beginning: Let us assume a match to 7 and player A leads 5-1. If during the next game player B doubles and A accepts then the doubling cube moves fr...

# Additional improvements I'd like to see in the new version - An option to enable or disable the Jacoby rule. May I ask why you would ever want to disable the Jacoby rule in matchplay? Because it is too complicated? Other than that I see only benefits of Jacoby, no downsides at all. Explanation: I...

Can you add me as a game tester? It should be possible since it has been done before. I was a game tester by invitation.

I fulfill all requirements except 50 different games on BGA.

The code does not rank the finishing order properly. This is a grave error! Three times now I have finished 2nd but have been ranked 3rd and it has cost me elo and arena points. This is terribly wrong. When 2 (or more) players bust out in the same hand, the finishing order is determined by the pre-...

Hey everyone, It seems like noone likes to play with the dice deck. Why is it so unpopular? As Jontia wrote, the players complaining about dice are vocal but they are very small minority. Most players play CATAN because it has a random component and not despite of this fact! The goal is to play mov...

The problem does not lie with the moderators but with users that do not follow the rules. Public shaming is not allowed on BGA forums. If you do not agree, please search for other gaming platforms. As I have written many times before (with extensive explanations) reporting cheaters does work and doe...
