Backgammon is a game of luck and skill. It is played by two people with 15 checkers each on a board consisting of 24 spaces or points. The checkers are moved according to throw of the dice and each player tries to bring his own checkers home and bear them off before his opponent does, hitting and blocking the enemy checkers along the journey.

The ancient Greeks played backgammon and so did the Romans. The game of Backgammon that we know today was refined in England in the seventeenth century, which is also when it acquired the name of backgammon. Backgammon has been around a long, long time, with origins dating back possibly as far as 5000 years.
