Ideas come cheap, you could try :
Misere backgammon:
All normal rules apply, but the object of the game is to lose points.
(Though if you want to use the cube, you'd better modify the cube
rules so that you win points, that is lose, if you drop, otherwise
noone would ever want to cube).
Chase backgammon:
Both players set up and play clockwise. (Ie your 24 point is his 12 point
and your 13 point is his ace point). Otherwise normal rules apply.
Skewed dice backgammon:
One player uses normal dice, the other uses one 4-sided die and one
8-sided die (thereby losing the big doubles 55 and 66, but getting a
reasonable possibility to jump any prime, even a 7-prime). Swap
dice for the next game. You can enter from the bar with 7 or 8,
but you cannot bear off from your 7 or 8 point (all men must still
be in your home board).
