Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games, with a rich history that spans thousands of years. It's a game of strategy, skill, and a bit of luck, where two players race to move all their checkers around the board and bear them off before their opponent. Combining chance and tactical thinking, backgammon has been a favorite for centuries across cultures.
Backgammon is played with:
- Two players who each control 15 checkers.
- A special board divided into 24 triangles (called points).
- A pair of dice that dictate how many spaces a player can move.
- The goal is to move all your checkers into your home board and then "bear them off" (remove them from the board)
