Backgammon middle board color
Posted: 22 July 2016, 19:48
Hi guys,
As someone who has pretty bad eyesight and sometimes having difficulty telling some colors apart, I usually mix up the play fields and the middle board.
My problem is, when a peg gets knocked out and placed on the middle board (either at the top or bottom), I pretty often confuse it for a valid space with a peg on it, since the fields are either brownish red or brownish black, the middle board being dark brown doesn't make it easy for me.
I would really appreciate it if the middle board (knock out area) would be either lighter (like light brown) or the lane colors to be dark black and light red (good contrast between black, red and brown) or place the knocked out peg more toward the middle.
If the suggestion gets rejected... Well, at least I tried.
Thank you for reading and for your attention.
P.S. In real life I do put the knocked out pegs in the middle of the middle board and there I also have depth perception not to confuse it with a lane
