    Default Anyone here play backgammon?

    Just started playing a few months ago. Great game. Offense to defense. Battle vs the war. Fate of the dice. Unfortunately I have a lot to learn yet.

    Anyone else enjoy the game?

    Yes every now and then.

    Currently my son and I are more on the “Go” trip, just got a nice new Go board on my birthday.

    I heard about Go. Seems complicated.

    Game rules are simple, can be learned in a couple of minutes, but the strategic options of the game are immense (for computers it took much longer to beat the masters (2016) than for chess (1996)).
    If you like strategy games with depth I would give it a try some day.

    I've been playing Dota and CS for a long time, and I know some cool sites that I can share with you. If you are interested in selling or buying skins, I advise you to look at skin.land (https://skin.land/) No kidding, this site has never failed, all works steadily and you can find everything you want. Definitely recommend!

    It's fantastic to hear you're enjoying backgammon! The strategic interplay between offense and defense, the unpredictable nature of the dice, and the constant battle for control make it a timeless game. Learning the ropes can indeed be challenging, but that's part of the thrill. As for u boat attacks, while it seems unrelated to backgammon, history enthusiasts might recognize it as a significant tactic during World War II. Just as in backgammon, war strategies often involve a delicate balance between offense and defense. Best of luck with your backgammon journey, and who knows, maybe someday you'll master the game just like commanders strategized against U-boat attacks!

    I know that backgammon is popular in Arab countries. I have backgammon, but I haven’t played in real life for a long time and prefer only online games. Now I'm playing on a free site https://bestmahjong.com/layouts/fortress in an interesting layout of tiles in the form of a fortress and I advise everyone to try it. Mahjong is a very useful game for improving memory, so you will definitely not waste your time playing mahjong online.
