They’ve been playing it for 500 years - but you can start today
Backgammon is a classic board game that has been played in one form
or another since the 1500s. The basics of the game are simple to learn: each player has a
number of counters placed on a distinctive black and red board, the objective being to return
all counters safely to the player's home area. However, at any point counters can be captured
by your opponent, turning the tables and radically altering the course of the game.
The SmallRockets version of Backgammon has a host of features including multiple skill levels
and game options, and should appeal equally to the Backgammon beginner as to the experienced player.
