Backgammon is a one of the oldest board games still around today with some of it origins dating back as far as 3000 BC. Some improvements have been made to create the game we know now.
Backgammon is typically a two player game where you try to move your men from point to point around the board until you have brought all of them to your inner table and eliminated them from the game. This can also be achieve by playing in teams with one player as the team captain moving and rolling the dice.
