open and the player rolls a 6-5, they may not use that roll to bear off a man from the 4-point. Men may be only moved from the fence upon rolling doublets. The ability to take extra rolls for doublets and acey-deucey during bearing off have the same rules stated above. If a player rolls an acey-deucey but cannot bear a man off from both the 1-point and the 2-point, that player is not entitled to a roll for doublets or another turn. If a player rolls a 6-6 and only has three men on the 6-point to bear off, that player may not take another turn (although he or she can bear off the three men from that point). At the beginning of the game, no man may be put into play unless a doublet is rolled. In other words, a player may not enter a man without first rolling a doublet. After the initial doublet, any man may be entered as desired. References Tables games
