Multiplayer Gul Bara

Gul Bara is a Backgammon variant that's worth your attention.

You can move your pieces to an empty column or one that is already filled with your pieces, but not to a column that's occupied by your opponent's pieces.

If both dice show the same number, you can move each die's number twice (doubles or doublet) and make up to 4 moves, including successive numbers that are up to double 6.
