Lose to Win

I have played a variation of backgammon where object is to lose the game, not to win. You've never seen so many blots in your life! LOL

I have also played a variation called no-hit where if you hit your opponent, you lose. Some interesting strategies there, trying to kill your opponents good 6s or 5s, forcing them into hitting you when they run out. In this variation if the game goes to a no-contact position, the winner is determined the same as in regular backgammon, 1st one to bear all 15 off wins.

I prefer not to play either of these, I have enough problems dealing with the math and such with regular gammon, and these just mess with my head. :-)
