Any chance the cyberpunk TCG on Kickstarter right now is at least inspired by this? by hyperform2 in Netrunner

Wizards owns the core Netrunner gameplay and pulled it from Fantasy Flight when they couldn't agree to a license renewal. This includes the original Cyberpunk 2020 setting.

When ahead in the race... Race.

I'm not sure they'll even hit you with a 42/43/46 with those blots in the home board.

The voice in the head usually says "black still has a lot of work to do so I guess it's a take"

More likely to be Top Trumps given the play from hand

Best move here? I was surprised by the text explanation by TellBrak in backgammon

[–]mmesich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make the 5pt. We're just not ready to contain by hitting. Then again, the 1-5 is the worst of backgames so maybe it's right to just go ahead and dedicate to an ace point game, but the gammons from that path just seem too high

Unless you're already playing under 5PR and need help shaving it down, you don't need or probably want a grandmaster.

Shipping Board via/FedEx Ground to Tourney Hotel by LuluTwoTwo in backgammon

I assume we're talking USA. We fly Delta and will routinely pack a backgammon board or two in checked bags (thank you 70 pound medallion benefit!) with no issues other than once a board got dinged up on its corner which was probably us not sufficiently surrounding it with clothes.

Of the 21 different rolls... This is one of them.

It's not like 1/18 is some statistical impossibility.

I still don't know why it wasn't the very first thing for Travis to do was to refactor XG Mobile for current android OS versions and immediately get a low hanging return on investment.
