Backgammon is a board game for two players. It is one of the oldest games known to us. The Dutch version of this game (with other rules) is called Tric Trac or Triktrak. In Turkey it is the most popular game and it is part of the street scene.

Backgammon is a race in which both players have to move stones across the field to another side according to the numbers by throws of the dice. The opponents walk in the opposite direction. Loose stones of the opponent can be beaten. The aim of the game is to bring your 15 stones first to the other side and get them out of the game. Whoever has done this first wins the game.
