=Background in Wikis=

Eugene started editing wikis in High School starting with their own High School's wiki in 2001.

They experienced a resurgence in wiki interest in 2006 when a popular internet game utilized mediawiki software as a means of communicating. A small project of theirs failed due to politics on Wikipedia, but still their passion remained strong.

They utilized that knowledge and passion to benefit the wiki belonging to their hometown of Rochester, NY for several years and they are reigning champ of edits on the bikecollectives.org wiki.

If you have any questions, you should visit their Discussion page (top left of this screen).

GuenaBuena: responding to Reelmckoy's queery about doubling!

I'm glad that the doubling aspect of the game has been addressed. Even more I'm glad that Pabloesc said that the feature would be added shortly, and later revised that to identify this feature as *Key*. I agree, it is very important to this game and would certainly change the way this game is played and the way ratings are made.
Does anyone have a timeline for when this 'key feature' will be added? Is someone working on it now?
Thanks! -- 19:42, 12 February 2020‎ [[User:Reelmckoy]]
: I wonder if there's a good way to get this info the BGA. Will investigate. In the future, to add a sig, just add four tildes to the end of your text. like this: " <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> " --[[User:GuenaBuena|GuenaBuena]] ([[User talk:GuenaBuena|talk]]) 02:58, 30 December 2020 (CET)

on multiple platforms, I'm having trouble moving any tokens into my home base. --[[User:GuenaBuena|GuenaBuena]] ([[User talk:GuenaBuena|talk]]) 17:45, 29 December 2020 (CET)
: I figured it out and added the text: " A player's pawns may not be removed from the board until all of their pawns are in their home base. " --[[User:GuenaBuena|GuenaBuena]] ([[User talk:GuenaBuena|talk]]) 02:55, 30 December 2020 (CET)

GuenaBuena: added some clarification

'''Objective'''

Players roll dice to advance their pawns into their home base. After completed, resume by rolling dice to remove their pawns from the board. A player's pawns may not be removed from the board until all of their pawns are in their home base. First player to clear all pawns from the board wins. Exact roll is not required to remove pawns from the board, roll can be equal to or more than the amount of spaces required to leave the board.

'''Setup'''

The game has a fixed setup, with opponent mirrored arrangement. Each players home row is opposite the other, and each will be moving in only one, opposite direction around the board (either clockwise or counter-clockwise).

'''Play'''

Each roll of two dice can be played to advance one pawn both numbers, the order chosen by the player, or split play as each die to advance one pawn respectively. Should any number roll as double, player is able to play that number four times, as board will allow. pawns cannot be moved to land on any space occupied by two or more opposing pawns. Your own pawns may accumulate in any quantity on your own occupied spaces.

'''Capture'''

Any pawn stacked two or more is safe from capture. Any pawn single on a space is vulnerable. Rolling number combination to land your pawn on exposed opponent pawn is a capture and token must sit out of play until a number roll allows entry into opposing home row (i.e farthest from own). No other pawn may be moved until all captured pawn have re-entered the game.

'''Doubling'''

''Not yet added to game.''

Backgammon games are played for 1 point. Matches are played with multiple points. When in Match play, if one opponent feels his game is so strong that he will most likely win, he "offers the cube". The other opponent can accept (in which case the game is worth double the current stakes) or decline (and the game ends in his loss). If a player accepted the cube, and his situation later improves, he can then "double", if he so desires. Players may go back and forth doubling in this way, but doubling more than 2 or 3 times in one game is very rare. This key feature will be added to the game shortly.
