When people are playing backgammon people never usually play just 1 game of it. Be careful with tossing around absolutes like "never." I personally play only single games, and seldom have I had anyone request a rematch. While competition is best determined over the course of several match...

Most older games do not have an undo feature, so no there is no way to reverse this.

However, if it is a friendly game, you could propose to abandon the game collectively, which would prevent any ELO from shifting due to the mistake. The system will treat the game as if it had never happened.

If I get this early game, I tend to push until at least one of them is about 3/4 up the path. If nothing else, it discourages others from trying to claim that column.

So, if 3 people are needed to defeat it (3-player game), and only 2 people are sent to fight it, they will stay there until the animal is defeated. The good news, though, is that while they ar...

(The box changes color depending on how high the number is.) It can be found next to the player name when at a table (either waiting, actively pla...
