# Backgammon
Backgammon is an old, very popular board [game](game.md) of both skill and [chance](randomness.md) (dice rolling) in which players [race](race.md) their [stones](rock.md) from one side of the board to the other. It often involves betting (but can also be played without it) and is especially popular in countries of Near East such as Egypt, Syria etc. (where it is kind of what [chess](chess.md) is to our western world or what [shogi](shogi.md) and [go](go.md) are to Asia). It is a very old game whose predecessors were played by old Romans and can be traced even as far as 3000 BC. Similarly to [chess](chess.md), [go](go.md), [shogi](shogi.md) and other traditional board games backgammon is considered by [us](lrs.md) to be one of the best games as it is [owned by no one](public_domain.md), highly [free](free.md), cheap, simple yet deep and entertaining and can be played even without a [computer](computer.md), just with a bunch of [rocks](rock.md); compared to the other mentioned board games backgammon is unique by involving an element of chance and being only played on [1 dimensional](1d.md) board; it is also relatively simple and therefore noob-friendly and possibly more relaxed (if you lose you can just blame it on rolling bad numbers).
