The game, which is several thousand years old, has many names and variations. Once, originating in the East, it was full of secret mystical meaning. By throwing dice, the ancients tried to find out what awaited them. Today, this intellectual entertainment is chosen to have fun in company.
This pastime is also suitable for family leisure. It requires intelligence and self-control. For to win, a participant must not only calculate several possible scenarios, but also be prepared to do so under conditions of sometimes total bad luck, when the dice do not fall as desired. That is why parents often introduce their growing children to backgammon. After all, the ability to find a way out of difficult situations, to predict, to steadfastly overcome failures, and to lose with dignity are indispensable traits of a person who knows how to achieve their goals.
Rules of the game of trick-track
The variety of backgammon is so great that almost the only common feature is that players take turns throwing dice and making moves, while stakes, initial position of checkers, and direction of movement differ. But in any of the games, pieces move in a circle without changing direction.
After the draw, players take turns throwing dice. After each throw, a player may move any checker the number of points indicated by the dice.
The winner is the one who manages to complete the circle and enter the home first. However, after that the game can continue, and then the player must remove their checkers from the board. The maximum victory is achieved if the player manages to bear off all checkers before the opponent enters the home.
Where to buy the game
It is most convenient to order backgammon from an online store, since souvenir shops have a very modest selection, and children's toy stores sell low-quality products.
