Backgammon #FBF



When I was young, we had a couple of boards with several games on them, so we had a bunch with Backgammon boards at home.  It wasn't something we played very often.  We did try to figure it out from time to time, and it was kind of fun.

Did you know that Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games?  Well it is!

It is a two player game where playing pieces are moved according to the roll of the dice. The winner is the player who removes all of his pieces from the board before their opponent. Backgammon involves a combination of strategy and luck. While the dice may determine the outcome of a single game, over a series of many games, the better player will accumulate the better record.


Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, draughts, stones, men, counters, pawns, discs, pips, chips, or nips.



Do you play Backgammon?
