Frontjammin'

This is #7 in the Games on a Half a Checkerboard Series. Frontjammin' is a game like Backgammon, with its own twists. It also includes a variant using a King piece, which gives the game a bit of a Chess flavor.

In the game, players will roll two dice. If they roll 5-6 on any of the two dice, that counts as a single die roll that a player picks (1-4).

In addition, the game involves pieces being placed in columns and trapping their opponent's pieces. The smaller board also lends to an increased chance of a reversal of fortune.
