From here and up the names are more or less optional, as far as we could ascertain. The rule is only employed in money matches, not in matches where the players compete for rating points. Chouette Chouette is multiplayer backgammon. Initially, all players throw a die. The rest forms the Captain's team.
All players score individually, even if part of the team.
The Box will now play against the others on a single board. The Captain throws the dice and makes the moves on behalf of the team. In case of a Box victory, player B steps back to let player C take over his place in the captain's seat. If player B wins, he replaces player A as the Box. Player A joins the team.
