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 different 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 where both players have to run stones across the field to another side according to the rolls of the dice. The opponents run in opposite directions. Loose opponent's stones can be captured. The object of the game is to bring your 15 stones to the other side first and take them out of the game. Whoever does this first wins the game.

Tric Trac
The Dutch variant Tric Trac has some deviating rules:

• It starts with an empty playing field, only when a player has placed all of his 15 stones in the starting field, he may move them further.
• A maximum of 5 stones may be placed in a row.
• With a throw of ...

1. 1 and 2 (this is called a Tric Trac) may be moved double 1, double 2, double 5 and double 6 in ascending order. (score = 28)
2. 2 same numbers, first these 2 numbers are moved and then the numbers at the bottom. (score = 14)
3. 2 different numbers (except with a Tric Trac) must first be moved the lowest number and then the highest number.

• If not all numbers on a roll can be bet, all numbers will expire after the first number that cannot be bet.
• Once in the end field, the stones may no longer be moved, it is then only discard or nothing.
• If a player throws double, this player may throw again, up to a maximum of 3 throws.
• A player's end field is off limits to him if this player still has stones in the start field or on the bar.
