In Response To: Nackgammon/Rules (Seth)

Cubing for nackgammon should work exactly the same as for normal backgammon - i.e. in Unlimited, you have the choice (by mutual agreement) to play the Jacoby rule (cube must be given for gammons to count), but in matchplay, you **never** play the Jacoby rule. In practice, particularly in online play, the Jacoby rule is almost always used for Unlimited (backgammon or nackgammon), although some older casual (mainly live) players don't like the Jacoby rule, and they sometimes try to persuade you to play either variant without it. In Unlimited nackgammon, the Jacoby rule is more important, because without it, the cube action would be more boring as players would tend to delay cubing a lot more because there are more potential gammons on from the outset, and for longer.
