Ouch! #backgammon can be a cruel game. My opponent (blue), wins by gammon, and gets 4 points having rolled double 5, double 3, double 6!

@chrism Thanks for the link and the invitation!
I haven't played in a long time, so maybe playing with the bot for a bit will help me out.
Not that I need any more ways to spend time on the computer, lol, fediverse has got it covered really well.
I am facinated by all there is to explore here.
Thanks again! 
@design_RG Against people, though there is a bot for those who just want computer. http://www.dailygammon.com/
Backgammon is a great game, thoroughly enjoy it even when luck is against me. Its a great mix of luck and skill so I prefer it to chess. If you fancy a game, join up and we can arrange some games.
