If we played BG with a baffle tube and touch move and a clock...

In Response To: If we played BG with a baffle tube and touch move and a clock... (Phil Simborg)

The goal is not to stop the obvious, but to prevent the devious, and to make it harder for both with good equipment and good rules.

What devious cheating are we talking about here? Assuming clocks are used (i.e. one set of dice shared), and the rules on rolling are followed reasonably well I think it's very hard to affect the dice rolls (and arguably a poorly designed baffle box could be easier to cheat with).

In my experience it is very obvious when someone is not rolling the dice well (whether they're trying to cheat or just lazy).
