Written for complete beginners and for anyone who has played for years without ever reading the theory, and it makes a sensible companion gift alongside a backgammon set.
Key details:
- Format: book in the For Dummies series
- Covers setup, movement and scoring from scratch
- Strategy for offence, defence and dice management
- Diagrams and real game scenarios throughout
- Tips on spotting patterns and avoiding common mistakes
Read a chapter, then try the position on a board in front of you. The worked examples show why a blot is worth leaving in one spot but not another, and the dice management section explains how to plan around the rolls you are likely to get rather than the ones you want.
