Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games. This game invloves a coombination of strategy and luck (from rolling dice). While the dice may determine the outcome of a single game, the better player will accumulate the better record over series of many games, somewhat like poker. With each roll of the dice, players must choose from numberous options for moving theit checkers and antipcate possible counter-moves by the opponent. The optional use of a doubling cube allows players to raise the stakes during the game.
