Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games in the world, and this 1975 edition carries the timeless appeal of strategy, luck, and skill. Played for centuries across many cultures, Backgammon challenges players to race their pieces around the board and bear them off before their opponent does, all while using tactics to block, hit, and outthink along the way. It’s a game of quick decision-making, careful risk-taking, and endless replay value.
How to Play
Each player begins with 15 pieces arranged in the traditional Backgammon setup. Players take turns rolling two dice and moving their pieces according to the numbers rolled. The goal is to move all of your pieces around the board into your home table and then bear them off before your opponent. Along the way, you can block your opponent’s moves, hit single pieces (blots) to send them back to the bar, and make strategic use of doubles. This edition also includes the doubling cube, raising the stakes for bold players. The rules are simple to learn, but mastering the strategy makes every game exciting.
