Synopsis How to Play Backgammon by : Chad Bomberger
Learn How to Play Backgammon! Did you know backgammon is one of the oldest games ever invented – and it’s even older than chess? In this fascinating guide, you’ll discover the 5,000-year history of backgammon – and how you can enjoy this popular and compelling game. You’ll discover the uniquely geometric backgammon board, how to set up the pieces, and how to make your first moves. As you increase your mastery of this ancient game, you’ll learn a vast array of game concepts and winning tactics. You’ll discover how to “hit” your opponents’ pieces and remove them from the board – forcing your opponent to start these pieces over from the beginning. You’ll learn how to “bear-off” your own pieces from the board and prepare for a victory. This book even explains how gamblers use a doubling cube (a new twist U.S. players added to the game in the 1920s) to raise the stakes! Learn the 5 Basic Backgammon Strategies Every Player Should Know: The Running Game The Holding Game The Priming Game The Backgammon Blitz The Back Game You’ll even learn additional rules for backgammon variants – and the pro tips you need to take your game to the next level!

Synopsis Seven Games: A Human History by : Oliver Roeder
A group biography of seven enduring and beloved games, and the story of why—and how—we play them. Checkers, backgammon, chess, and Go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasurable. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last Go champion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism”; and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white Go stones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language itself. Throughout, Roeder tells the compelling story of how humans, pursuing scientific glory and competitive advantage, have invented AI programs better than any human player, and what that means for the games—and for us. Funny, fascinating, and profound, Seven Games is a story of obsession, psychology, history, and how play makes us human.
