Backgammon is one of the oldest games in existence. Dating back some 5000 years, it is believed to have been developed by the ancient Egyptians.

The Greeks knew it as Tabla or Taula in the 6th century. By the 18th century the game had achieved popularity in England and USA as Backgammon, France as Tric-Trac, and the Middle East as Taula.

Backgammon is a racing game for two opponents, in which each player strives to bring his checkers around the board into his home table, and bear them off the board before his opponent. Because the players move their checkers in opposite directions, they must try to occupy spaces, called 'points', to prevent the opponent from utilizing them.

Since then popularity has waned, but it is still played by many people, and there are backgammon clubs all over the world. It is now enjoying a resurgence among the Internet community and you can find many online backgammon rooms.
