The Worst Roll

It’s been a while since Liz and I played a board game. We dusted off the backgammon set tonight, and I needed to share this moment for posterity.

Above, it’s my turn and my roll. Just enough to bear off one piece, but juuust shy of bearing off my final piece. Which means that Liz automatically wins on her turn/roll (even the lowest possible roll, double 1’s, gives her the win).

Brutal.
