When you hit a blot within your own inner board, you may not run that
blot to safety (either onto another checker or bear it off). You may
double hit if the checker remains exposed. And, of course, you may
hit with a checker and cover that checker.

After the first game of a match or of money play, all subsequent games
are started by the most recent victor. Thus, you can get doubles on
your first roll.
Here's are my questions:
How widespread are these rules?
I think these rules are common in Persia. Anywhere else?
Thank you,

I've heard these rules are common in some Middle Eastern locations. You'll
never find them in any tournament action that I've heard of, however. It is
also likely that games with these rules are also played without a cube.
