Should there ever be questions about the accuracy or authenticity of NOVADICE™, they may be returned for comparison to the recorded specifications for each individual die or set of four (4) dice. For a small fee a report will be generated and the dice returned. Also, using a BB prevents situations in which you need to ask your opponent to roll again because you think the roll has been invalid. In fact, the use of BB in tournaments is becoming either a preference or a requirement, and in some cases imposed by the tournament director. A chouette may be played with either a single doubling cube or multiple cubes. In a single-cube game, the only decision that the members of the team make individually concerns takes. If the box doubles, each team member can decide on his own whether to play on or drop out. Those who drop out each pay off to the box and no longer participate as team advisers. If the captain drops out while there are others on the team who wish to play on, the captaincy is assumed by one of these players and the previous captain drops to the bottom of the rotation. The game starts with both players each rolling a single die to determine who goes first. The one with the higher roll starts, and uses

There is no limit on the number of redoubles. Although 64 is the highest number depicted on the doubling cube, the stakes may rise to 128, 256, and so on. In money games, a player is often permitted to "beaver" when offered the cube, doubling the value of the game again, while retaining possession of the cube. [47] Each turn, a player rolls two dice. The numbers shown decide how far the player may move their pieces. To speed up match play and to provide an added dimension for strategy, a doubling cube is usually used. The doubling cube is not a die to be rolled, but rather a marker, with the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 inscribed on its sides to denote the current stake. At the start of each game, the doubling cube is placed on the midpoint of the bar with the number 64 showing; the cube is then said to be "centered, on 1". When the cube is still centered, either player may start their turn by proposing that the game be played for twice the current stakes. Their opponent must either accept ("take") the doubled stakes or resign ("drop") the game immediately. One of the standout features of our solid dice is their rounded corners. This design ensures that each roll of the dice is random, providing equal probability in rolling and fair gameplay. With our solid dice, you can rest assured that each roll is based on chance alone, making for a more enjoyable and exciting gaming experience. Harrington Green, Jonathan (1845). An exposure of the arts and miseries of gambling. Redding. p. 203.Automatic doubles.If identical numbers are thrown on the first roll, the stakes are doubled. The doubling cube is turned to 2 and remains in the middle. Players usually agree to limit the number of automatic doubles to one per game. If a player has one or more pieces on the bar, no other pieces can be moved until all such pieces have re-entered play. So if the dice throw and position of enemy pieces prevents a player from re-entering a piece onto the board from the bar, the player cannot move any other piece and play passes to the opponent.

Manuscript in the Middleton collection, University of Nottingham; document reference Mi LM 14) To start the game, each player rolls one die, and the player with the higher number moves first using the numbers shown on both dice. [46] If the players roll the same number, they must roll again, leaving the first pair of dice on the board. The player with the higher number on the second roll moves using only the numbers shown on the dice used for the second roll. Both dice must land completely flat on the right-hand side of the gameboard. The players then take alternate turns, rolling two dice at the beginning of each turn. [44] [45] Suleiman, Y. (2013).

If the opponent has not borne off any pieces, this is a "gammon" and worth double the current stake. Fiske, Willard (1905).

Understanding The Backgammon Board:

At any time after the first turn, either player can offer to double the stakes prior to casting the dice. Upon being presented with such an ultimatum, the other player must choose either to forfeit the game and the current stake or accept the offer.
