WBA is proud to announce the successful registration of SassanGammon (c), a new and interesting variation of backgammon.
The rules are the same. To start, each player rolls one die to decide who starts. The higher number has to play the combination of both dice as starting move. After the initial roll, each player rolls 3 dice instead of 2, but picks the combination of 2 dice. He lifts the die showing the number he does not want to play, moves the checkers according to the remaining 2 dice to complete his roll. His opponent does the same. All other rules remain. This game can be played with the doubling cube, the Jacoby and Crawford rule. More for intermediate and advanced players, this game has a faster pace than the regular form of it and needs to think more ahead than backgammon. Opening rolls are much more different than in regular backgammon. Gammons and backgammons are much harder to achieve. This new variation of the game will be offered as side-event on future tournaments of WBA. Try it out - you´ll like it... Comments (1) |
