Backgammon, it's not just something you shout at a brexiter! Anyway, a while back I mentioned in a planning video that i wanted to cover more games like Chess, Go and Backgammon. Just for the sake of completion. Backgammon really is a classic that is legit fun and, well, i think if people want to consider themselves well rounded gamers, it's one worth having a look at if you haven't already

@3MBG Год назад

Also, slight error in setup. Have posted a correction

@xyan3191 Год назад

Backgammon was always "the other side of the chessboard" for me growing up lol. Finally learning it was a real treat!

@dwarrenmsp Год назад

I'm in my 40s and I just learned backgammon this year. Now it's great fun. As I'm getting older I'm enjoying these simpler more strategic games.

@blacksheep9950 Год назад

Interesting note - the 'snap' mechanism in Marvel Snap came from the developers playing a bunch of board and card games and deciding to incorporate the doubling die from Backgammon. If you're confident you're going to win a match, you can snap to double the stakes. You then can't snap again, but your opponent can, doubling the stakes again.

@edwardsieferman1205 Год назад

I love the fact that backgammon allows for social interaction that is often absent in chess while providing opportunities for some cerebral decisions based upon probability & statistics... And it is ancestral to games such as Pachisi, and Ludo...

@dragonlair9469 Год назад

Board set up, the three checkers on the seventh pip should start on the eigth pips…. Or is set up different in NZ?

@3MBG Год назад

I followed a guide online. So not sure.

@3MBG Год назад

Nope, you are correct. Oops

@3MBG Год назад

Dammit, i thought the setup was off at the time but went with it. Again i'll blame this on toddler parent brain

@3MBG Год назад

I've added a pop up that will show a link to a correct setup. Might not pop up on phones though

@robertcrist124 Год назад

Good series. This is fun. Actually never seen this game played, it was very helpful.

@nutherefurlong Год назад

We never used the doubling die as a kid, I was told it was more for people betting on the game. It's probably for the best

@3MBG Год назад

It can be, but it can also speed up the game

@jimphilidor9031 7 месяцев назад

The doubling cube is not only used when playing for money, but also when playing matches, to some predetermined point goal. A 7 point match is a good length match in my opinion.

Backgammon is fun! I haven’t played in a while but I want to again. I don’t like playing online though and I only have the Lord of the Rings Backgammon set, which is hard to play since the pieces are gold and silver rings and they’re super hard to tell apart! I’m starting to learn Mahjong with actual scoring rules and that would be another good classic to cover! There are lots of variants though.

@atheist_addict Год назад

Could do with more engine-building, drafting, secret legacy envelopes, giant plastic miniatures and neoprene. I have notes ….😂😂😂

@margaretgoodall5043 3 месяца назад

So a couple of questions - do the checkers that are in your inner area have to leave, go round the board and come back again, or are they already "home"? The checkers on the bar - they have to go back into your opponents inner area- is that counting back using the dice or using the number of the point? e.g. if you throw a 5 is that supposed to go on the 5 point or count back and go on the 2? Thanks

@BackgammonFinesse Год назад

Crawford rule - IF match goes to, lets say, 5 points and score is at next game 4-X you CANT double. example after the score 3-0 we won 1 point and score is 4-0. and our opponent cant double at next game. he must win 1 game and after that crawford rule is OFF and our opponent can double at first move. Jacoby rule - in money (unlimit game) GAMMONS didnt count as 2 points or 2x. WE NEED TO DOUBLE and only WITH cube gammons is ON. small additional rules about dices - if you cant do a move with two dices but with only 1 number on them, you must choose and move your pieces with HIGHER number on both dices. if you can do only 1 move or only 2 moves with both dices you must choose a move which is used 2 dices together.

@3MBG Год назад

I suspect those details are far beyond the casual introduction to the game this video is supposed to be. But it is interesting stuff

@charlietwoteas3676 Год назад

I do like Backgammon but I find it tough to persuade people to play it with me which is also an issue I have with Go. If I ever am in a situation where I'm with someone who would want to play it there is almost certainly more than 2 players present. However one of my gaming group has ordered a Mahjong set and I'm hoping that that is classic game we can get played regularly.

@john-qz3fu 11 месяцев назад

When you’ve got two very skilful players, the game comes down to luck of the dice. I’ve even read it described as a coin toss.

@jimphilidor9031 7 месяцев назад

That's why it's played in a match format, to a certain point value. There might even be several of these matches and the winner is the one who wins the most matches. This minimizes the luck factor.

@daithi1966 9 месяцев назад

I like the colors of the board and checkers, but the checkers are too small for the board.

@dave3805 Год назад

No need to get a fancy set, Goodwill has sets all the time.

@3MBG Год назад

Totally agree. That said, nice sets look nice. lol.

@Komand3 Год назад

Your board is not correctly set-up. I'm not sure if there are any alternate set-ups that I' m not familiar with, but in the classic way, the 3 pieces in the outer board are 2 spaces away from the 5 pieces in the home-board , not 1.
