Nice work. I've played the Bulgarian games before but I always forget the rules for the last 2. Generally speaking for an international audience I'd suggest defaulting to standard international rules. This is basically the same as your "General" except you'll need to add a doubling cube and a few other little things (ie Jacoby rule). The game is really incomplete without the cube. For a truly multiplayer experience, you can implement chouette rules. This is the most common way to play casually in bars/clubs (at least in North America), and is IMO pretty much the most fun you can possibly have at a board game. :) To solve the problem of waiting around for an opponent, you can hook up an AI such as GNU BG. Backgammon has a long tradition of AI development going back at least to Hans Berliner’s BKG program in the 70s. Cheers!
