I have been playing backgammon for 30 years and in that time reckon I’ve won as much as I’ve lost (more or less). Backgammon is special in that you can be very skillful but you still have to rely upon an element of luck. I’ve had great times playing against some of my very best friends, and sometimes I’ve had the luck as well. The quality of the backgammon board is important to real enthusiasts, and the example here is one of the best. It was bought for me by one of my daughters and her mum about 15 years ago from a charity shop somewhere near Bradford - possibly Bingley or Keighley and it’s one of my favourite possessions. I’ve now taught my grandson to play, and look forward to playing him for money when he starts earning a decent living. Trouble is, he seems to keep winning…..
