NEW!!! Updated United States Backgammon Rules. The LVBC will now be using the new rules. The primary substantial change in the rules is in regards to the premature rolling rule. The new rule reads as follows. Rule 4.6 (PREMATURE ACTIONS): All premature actions (dice rolls or cube actions) shall stand if otherwise valid. An opponent who has yet to complete his turn or act upon the cube may then do so with foreknowledge of the premature action. Previously, in the United States, all premature cube actions were valid, but premature rolls were invalid and had to be rerolled in all circumstances. Now, premature rolls are always valid.
