Backgammon August 09, 2018, 05:37:45 pm It's one of the oldest board games there is.Any players here?My mom played, thus I learned to play at an early age.I like it because of the randomness that dice bring to the game.I can't count the times I've been in real bad shape, just to come from behind and win.I have a buddy I play against and we think the Backgammon gods are very fickle.Great game.
Re: Backgammon Reply #1 – August 09, 2018, 07:07:31 pm Backgammon has always been a favorite. Next to cribbage it was one of our favorite games among my high school friends. That and Risk. https://youtu.be/d7zuAejNUsAThe only video games available for home players at the time was pong. https://youtu.be/fiShX2pTz9A 😝Kent
Re: Backgammon Reply #2 – August 10, 2018, 01:24:26 am I used to play backgammon with my sister when we were kids. We would play all the time but no one was really any better then the other. When I was in my 20's I bought this book on impulse, titled Backgammon For Blood by Bruce Becker (1975 edition). It completely changed how I played the game and my winning percentage went up dramatically.I haven't played in 20 years but if I do, I think I'll reread the book first. You can pick one up used for under $5.00. Make sure it's the one by Bruce Becker. Some other author wrote a book by the same name but I don't know if its any good or not.Happy gaming,Jack
