Joker Cube

Thanks for the kind words about the joker cube idea. I certainly never thought my idea was unique and finding that to be the case indeed. My thoughts were this, make backgammon even more skill and less luck. How many times have we played great to loose to a 35-1/17-1 shot!

As far as a question about opening roll, yes it could be used then but I would imagine that would be a mistake, ie, giving away the power of the joker cube to a mere 3-1 opening seems like a waste. This cube would also modify your play depending on if you owned it or not (ie, you are blizting, he has 2 men on the bar, you can leave him a double 5 to come in and hit, etc, things like that). I just think it adds a measurable amount of increased skill and that same amount of less luck?
