With the backgammon craze in full swing,
some of us are just starting to catch up. We
know that there's a briefcase that turns
into a board, and movies show men drinking
Turkish coffee from small glasses and
smoking between throws of the dice. Maybe
you played as a kid, but maybe you've only
joined the game now, as it gets hotter and
hotter and moves out of the realm of old
Arab men in marketplaces to young people at
their computers.
So how do you join the newest craze? It's
easy. Just read. We'll explain everything.
Whether you know the game and need a
refresher course, or you can't even remember
why there are four dice (or five), we'll
help you get started. First, we'll tell you
what your goal is
here. Then we'll help you
set up
your backgammon board.
Once your board is set up and you're ready
to
get started, stick with us and we'll
help you
play
the game. We're sure you'll be playing
like a pro in no time. When you're ready to
go beyond the basics, we can help you even
more.
For more advanced players, we offer a
section on the
History of
Backgammon, dating back from ancient
Egypt all the way
through to modern online backgammon. In our
section entitled
More on Backgammon, we'll clarify any
terms that confuse you, any rules you may
not find in your regular backgammon games,
and more.
