Rolling the dice

    In the real world, you rattle your dice cup and throw the dice onto the backgammon board with a flourish, hoping for those magical double sixes. FIBS is not much different.

    In FIBS, however, there are times when you need to explicitly roll the dice, and other times when FIBS will roll them automatically without any signal from you. This depends on several factors. The times when FIBS will roll for you automatically include:
    1 When playing a one point match
    2 During a Crawford game
    3 When your opponent has the cube
    4 When you have specifically told FIBS not to ask you

How to roll

    There are several ways to roll the dice; with a little experience you will find the method that works best for you.

Method 1: Click the roll button

Method 2: Click the dice

Method 3: Use the "Game > Roll" menu

    You can use the Roll command from the Game menu to roll the dice. The keyboard shortcut for this is Cmd-R.

Method 4: Use the "Roll" contextual menu

    Similarly, you can use the contextual menu on the board (hold the Control key, click and hold on the board).
