FIBS Board backgammon forum

When I play 3DFIBs against GnuBG, the program forces me to play the higher dice first.  Is this a rule of the game itself, or just a feature of the program?

For example, I might have a hit and run on a 3-6 but not on a 6-3.

Does clicking on the dice switch them around? Right clicking on the lower number? Or best of all junk 3d fibs entirely and download JavaFibs, easily the best client!

Try using right mouse click, dragging checkers or clicking the dice. Something works I don't remember what because I don't use the program any more.

If you can play both of the dice numbers induvidually but not both then you must play the higher. In that very rare case it's a rule.

don't forget the 'undo' button - very handy if u misplay dice order

If you particularly want to play against gnu for practice, you can download the program for free and play it without getting caught up in 3dfibs and its strange ways  ;)

And also don't forget the "edit" button. Very useful for when gnubg gives you a roll that you don't like.
