Backgammon is a 3000 year old game of chance and skill for two players. The game is played on a special backgammon board with pieces (also called 'men' or 'stones') and a pair of dice. This version includes the doubling cube which gives the game an extra dimension and enhacnes the opportunity of using skill rather than just luck to defeat one's opponent.
