Gioul |
| |
Gioul is a light-hearted game in which chance plays the most important role. It is highly recommended
for the end of a strenuous evening of other backgammon games. Gioul serves the same role as a light liqueur in the
aftermath of a heavy but delicious dinner. It is also a great favorite with the younger generation. Gioul is played
with the same original setup as fevga. In fact, the same Regulations in all games apply for gioul except the last 2 in fevga.
You do not have to bring your first piece inside your opponent's inner table at the start of the game. Further more, you
can occupy all of your inner table points if you wish, and so can your opponent. There are two regulations in gioul
that give it its unique zany flavor:
- If a player throws a doublet, he is obligated to play not only this doublet, but also all other doublets higher than
the one thrown. Thus, if you throw (1,1), you are obligated to play the (1,1), as well as, (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), etc.
This rule is usually in effect after the first three turns of each player.
- If a player is unable to execute all or part of his throw, then his opponent must do so, if he can. Thus, if you
throw (2,2), and you cannot play it, then your opponent must play it in accordance with the previous rule.
