Giving and taking extras in Chouette backgammon

In Chouette backgammon, the term extras refers to extra cubes that can be used for a variety of purposes. The move can only be used in multiple cubes Chouette backgammon games. This Chouette move is usually used to punish a captain or other team member for going against the teams generalized view and making bad moves that affect them all.

An extra can be offered in any dubious take. It is offered by one player who drops a cube from the box to another Chouette player who accepts the same cube. The player that offers the extra joins the cube, and plays against the Chouette player that accepted the extra. The player offering the extra pays a point to the player who accepts the extra to hold the 2-cube. The cost of the extra can be changed by increasing or decreasing the cube at initial position

An example of this Chouette move is when a Chouette backgammon player accepts a double when the others think he should drop. The player in disagreement offers a point for an extra cube, questioning the other Chouette players decision and waging money on it. The player who has made the right choice in this proposition will make the money.

It is a good idea to establish rules regarding this Chouette move before the start of the Chouette backgammon game. One possible rule is that the captain must accept an extra when he is the only Chouette player who wishes to take when the box doubles the cube. Another option is to force all players to accept any extras offered. This is recommended as it means that bad moves are punished strictly and so the Chouette game is played more fairly.
