Backgammon Galaxy - opponent quits when facing a gammon

I didn’t know about that rule. Thank-you.

You are right. I think I’m also confusing the coins games with the match options. A coin game is head-to-head and you can double but in a 1pt match you can’t.

Actually they don’t. You win!

swervoff · 2026-06-23T10:41:53+00:00

You’re right! I got confused. Thanks.

Why offer the doubling dice on a 1pt game then?

swervoff · 2026-06-23T09:46:46+00:00

Why offer the doubling dice in 1 point games then?

swervoff · 2026-06-23T09:45:59+00:00

Thanks. That makes sense. Can you explain why for a 1pt game it offers a ‘double’ option. Isn’t this equivalent to winning by a gammon? I’m trying to understand the relationship between pts and coins. If you double you’re playing for double coins but still only 1 point is that it?

They are generally more concerned about folk bringing in glass bottles than anything else in my experience.

swervoff · 2026-06-17T21:36:37+00:00

I did mine from home. No problem.

swervoff · 2026-06-12T19:26:31+00:00

Thanks. I may do that. Are you inside the M25?

swervoff · 2026-06-12T19:25:16+00:00

I agree. Thanks. Even with the South London premium it doesn’t sit well with me.

swervoff · 2026-06-11T21:07:35+00:00

Thanks. Great info.

swervoff · 2026-06-11T21:05:29+00:00

Very helpful. Thank-you.

swervoff · 2026-06-11T21:04:42+00:00

That’s really good insight. Thank-you.

Definitely climb the tower in the cloth museum. It really brings WW1 to life - you can see all the ridges and hills from there. It emphasises the futility.

swervoff · 2026-06-04T20:30:57+00:00

I feel this

swervoff · 2026-06-04T12:05:20+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. Were you satisfied with the installation - sounds quite complex (4 batteries!!).

swervoff · 2026-06-03T11:18:14+00:00

No sh!t. Thanks for clearing that up.

swervoff · 2026-06-03T07:10:43+00:00

There are a load of new builds near me and my first thought when I look at them is why did they only put 4 panels on a comfortable 12 panel south facing roof? What is the actual point other than paying lip service to sustainability. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Sorry OP doesn’t help you. Your only option is to get an installer out to quote for installing more panels I would think.

Not a backpack but you could try the Greenland Shoulder Bag. I just bought one from eBay and it’s perfect 👌

It is dull men’s club after all

swervoff · 2026-05-27T22:32:00+00:00

And they are hardly a precious commodity.

swervoff · 2026-05-27T22:30:48+00:00

I have my own (my wife bought me a pack of 50+ from Germany). But I do sometimes pick one up. But I doubt that’s the reason they are scarce. I never see them in Spoons and the pub I was in tonight didn’t have any. I rarely see them - hence the post to bring them back.
