Backgammon!
Author: admin9 Nov
Backgammon is one of the most ancient games known to man. It is currently a popular pastime all over the US, East Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. It is believed that early variations of the game were played in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Ancient Rome. Since then, the game has evolved, changed several names and spread to different parts of the world.
The backgammon board is divided into two sides with each one is the mirror reflection of the other. Each side contains 12 triangles called points numbered from 1 to 24. To play this game, you need a partner, two dice and a special backgammon board with checkers.
Points 1 to 6: Home Board or Inner Board
Points 7 to 12: Outer Board
7 point: Bar Point
13 point: Mid Point
This game begins with both players tossing one die. The player, whose outcome is the highest, makes the first move using both his and his opponent’s number. If the outcome of the dice toss is even, the players toss the dice again until an uneven outcome appears. From now on, each player tosses both dice on his turn.
If your opponent has not borne off any checkers while you have borne off 15 checkers, you win the gammon. If your opponent has not borne off any checkers and still some of his checkers are placed on the bar, while you have borne off 15 checkers, then you win the backgammon. I like this kind of game. If you do so, wanna play with me? Hehe..
