Backgammon is a great pastime and fun hobby - It combines statistics with luck and skill with a minimum of practice so that even relative novices can be competitive and learn the game - it's a game that is multi-faceted which keeps you learning. Backgammon originates from the area of modern day Iraq - It has 24 positions reflecting the hours of the day, divided into 4 equal blocks of 6 - each player has 15 pieces. The object of the game is to get your pieces off the board before your opponent does.  This handy travel companion is a necessity for even the most grueling trips and especially fun for a game over breakfast. Worth keeping in your handbag or under the seat of your car.
