Back gambling board game

While Go's true origins are unknown, there is a legend that states Chinese Emperor Yao created it. The story goes that he was looking to teach his son discipline and developed the game to show him the importance of strategy and concentration.

It still helps many in these areas to this day. Forgoing a proper title, this game is instead named after the place it was discovered. Estimates from when the tomb was built place this game's origins somewhere between and BC. The game rules, deciphered from an ancient Babylonian tablet, are fascinating. It is ostensively a racing game, but with the ability to knock the opponent's pieces off the board by landing on them. This makes it a potential predecessor to several modern games, such as Ludo , with even some potential links to Risk.

Traveling even further back, Egypt still has more of the world's oldest board games to offer. The game is believed to date all the way back to Egypt's Predynastic period, tracing potentially back to the very first Pharoh.

This puts it around to BC. Mehen is named after the Egyptian God, believed to take the form of a giant snake. The board takes the same shape, with a coiled snake segmented into square segments.

Unfortunately, historians are unsure how to play this game, but they do know that it was traditionally played with lion-shaped pieces carved from marble, and it could accommodate up to six players. While the Royal Game of Ur was the most exciting find of the Royal tombs of Ur, being something never seen before, a revelation for many historians at the time was a well-recognized game, Checkers.

Based on where it was found, this game dates back to roughly BC. One of the simplest and most popular one-on-one strategy games out there, Checkers spread worldwide in no time at all. And this was just my first ten minutes of play. And my last. Sadly as the graphics looked nice.

As soon as I Lost it sent me directly to all the buy now offers. On one game when I had all the points blocked and taking them off with three of the opponents pieces on the bar he came back to hit one of my final four pieces.

I got ones and twos five times in a row as that was the only two points he had blocked. He came back for an incredible win from behind. I then actually won two games and was asked to play my NEW board. The first two rolls for the opponent were double fives and sixes. He doubled and being my third roll I accepted. Wrong move as he continued to roll double after double.

Fourteen doubles for the whole game. I put myself through college playing tournaments and would just like a bit of fun without such blatant cheating.

Size Charts. Backgammon is the 28th game we make here at CardGames. It's been requested a lot over the years, but the main reason it was never created was the custom graphics needed for it.

Well, finally we did it! Backgammon is the first game developed by CardGames. Winning a single game can take a long time, so we decided to just make the simplest version, without the doubling dice and tracking wins over many games. However, if we get a lot of requests for that we might add it later. The game board and pieces are custom graphics made here at CardGames. As always, bugs, requests, comments can be sent to admin cardgames. This website uses cookies to store your preferences, and for advertising purposes.
