The popularity of the Chouette game
Many backgammon players like to vary their game by playing Chouette. To experienced backgammon players, but novice Chouette player, the Chouette game can seem somewhat slow with lots of downtime. However, Chouette adds many dimensions to the traditional backgammon game.

It also adds a more social element, with many people playing one game, with one player being the box playing against all the others in a team led by a Captain.
The large numbers of cubes used makes the Chouette game an exciting version of the backgammon game. It makes the possibilities more varied and the game play more volatile. Although players need to wait longer for their turn, backgammon players need to wait longer to play. The Chouette game can allow consulting where players can advise and influence their team mates decisions in a number of ways. This keeps all players more interested and involved at all times.
The Chouette game also provides a good opportunity to pick up tips and strategies from skilled players, and to learn each about player in general. Another added feature is that the box may partner up, which adds another exciting dimension and shares the pressure for this position. Also, when playing Chouette, you can opt for someone in your team to have proxy over your cube so that you can be temporarily relieved from play.
Chouette is basically a more sociable version of the backgammon game, designed to add different elements enabled through variants which require different skills.
