- Welcome back to BackGammon,
-
- due to good responses we got, here's an update. Please don't expect any
- revolutionary new functions, but from now on updates come on roling in...
-
- At the moment, there are still no proper rules available (maybe some
- professional could write them...). The gameplay has been enhanced
- and have a look at the titlebar. There are some menus now available.
-
- So here is the quite stupid text:
-
- hopefully you know the game already and don't need any further
- information on that game. In that case, just go on playing. For all
- the others (that might be one or two), here are the rules:
-
- The aim of the game is to win!!!! (What a funny game, I haven't heard
- of a game before, where you have to win). At the beginning of the
- game, you may choose the colour of your pieces and the strength of
- your opponent (AMIGA is of course much stronger than ATARI, ATARI is
- in fact a randomized mover). After selecting the options, the computer
- throws the dice (ALEA ACTA EST, as would Ceasar say). Let's say you've
- got a 4 and a 2. Then you're able to move either with one piece 4 and
- with another 2 or you might move with one 6. If the dice show the same
- number on them, you may move 4 times the number on the dice (e.g. a
- pair of 6 means 24 moves). The aim is to move into your square (either
- the upper or lower left corner, depending on your colour) and then take
- all the pieces out of the board. You've got a possibility to stop your
- opponent: If he/she has only one piece at a field, you can catch it
- with a move to that field. The other piece will be removed from the
- board and has to start from the beginning.
-
- We know that this is actually not very informative, but we hope, that
- you've understood it, otherwise ask someone who knows to play.
-
- Ciao,
-
- Igor & Danny
