I remember playing this game as a kid but we had no clue how to play and there were no rules (this was before the internet mind you). We always made up our own rules and just liked playing with the smooth circles on the nice wooden board. Funny thing is I still have no clue how to play.

I have always like backgammon because of the nice wooden boards that can be made for it. I think they look really pretty. Some even have a place for the rules although I guess you could put them inside the game board.
