How about we take a look at how different Acey Deucey is and how the game is played.

Acey Deucey is a variation of Backgammon. It is a most loved among military men since World War I. Its popularity started during these hard times. The early game strategy of Acey-Deucy is to attempt to set up advanced points as fast as possible, and if possible additionally build up adjacent points as base for a prime.  On the off chance that both sides create primes right smack up against one another, the advantage lies with the prime that is farther-progressed. Regardless of the possibility that the man with the farther-progressed prime has to break his first, he will probably win the game; on the off chance that he can hold his prime longer, he clearly will win.

Like Backgammon, your main objective is to move all of your chips off of the board before your rival does. One distinction is that the greater part of your chips start off of the board, so you should enter your chips on to the board. In other words, the white men enter in black’s home board and move around through black’s outer board and white’s outer board until all are accumulated in white’s home board; then white can start to bear them off. Black enters his men in the white home board and moves around in the same way.

When you have entered in a chip, you may enter in more chips or move your chips already on the board. Similar in Backgammon, on the off chance that you have any chips on the bar, they should be moved before some other chips can be moved. The main distinction between Acey Deucey and Backgammon is that a roll of an ace and a deuce (1-2) which gives the player who rolls it extra turns. Also there is no doubling cube in Acey Deucey. After rolling a 1-2 and successfully using both dice, you get another turn in which you can choose a set of doubles as your dice! On the off chance that you can completely use the doubles you choose, you will get another roll of the dice. Note that this roll could bring about a 1-2 and your turn would proceed.

We can say that the game play of Ace Deucey is faster and in some ways more exciting than the regular backgammon game. And the rest of the rules in Acey-Deucey are typically the same as a regular backgammon game. Try the game, it will be a great and challenging fast-paced shift from regular backgammon!
