About the book:
Backgammon is compulsive, easy to learn and quick to play. It is a game which offers hours
of entertainment with an exciting blend of chance and skill.
This book explains the basics of backgammon concisely and clearly, and then goes on to
discuss tactics and aggressive and defensive styles of play. Every game of backgammon is
unique, so Robin Clay encourages you to experiment, take risks and try out new strategies.
The social version of the game – known as Chouette – which can be played by up
to six players on one backgammon board, is also fully explained.
Whether you play it as a simple game of luck or a battle of skill and deception,
backgammon combines the intellectual stimulation of chess, bridge and Go with the
excitement of knowing that your fate depends on the roll of the dice.
