A fiendish variant is Trigammon, which I think Patti Beadles first
explained here a while ago.
As I remember it, you each roll one dice to decide who starts, as
normal. Thereafter each player rolls three dice. The opponent has to
take away any one of the three dice, leaving you with two dice to play
with, which you use as normal.
We played this a few times at the Reading, England club and very good
fun it is, too. We developed a further rule which is that when a player
is on the bar, the opponent does not have the power to take away a dice.
Otherwise, it's too easy for the opponent to keep you on the bar for a
long time. In this case, you can still play only two dice as normal, but
you choose which two to play. If you roll three of the same number (a
trible?) you play it as a normal double, e.g. 5 5 5 is played as 5 5.
