Never Beaver (Hardly ever)

In Response To: Never Beaver (Hardly ever) (Phil Simborg)

I invented a beaver game where you always roll a third die (except for the initial roll). The extra die is ignored except when a triplet is rolled. Then the cube increases whether it's centered or on either side, and you play your double.

What surprised me is how much it affects checker strategy.
