For more than 5000 years, backgammon has reigned supreme as the perfect classical game of strategy and luck.

Players move their pieces around the board in the hope of removing them from the far side before their opponent does the same. Pieces can be spread out to maximize potential actions, but single pieces are vulnerable and can be sent back to the start.

This is a game of skill and chance, with odds that can escalate drastically during play. A true exemplar in the field of games.
