Backgammon
Backgammon is a classic game like chess or checkers – but surprisingly few people know how to play it. Each player has 15 pieces that have to be moved from the place that they start off all around the board to the home base and then off the board completely. Each round the player will throw the dice and will than determine which piece they will move. Players do have the ability to capture each other’s pieces –which will make those pieces start off from the beginning.
Many people believe that backgammon is a board game that is relied mainly on the luck of the die – but it also needs a good deal of strategy. This is one of the few games that has been around for thousands of years dating back all the way to ancient Mesopotamia.
