Huh, never seen actual humans playing Backgammon. It’s one of those games, I’d occasionally find in game collections, but figured, they just include it, because you practically only need to add a printed playing board…
I played it to death. Though I usually played the acey deucey variant. Unlike chess or something, it gets to a point where you can’t improve. Just a matter of dice rolls and its 50/50 every game lol. Still I could beat new players.
A Tale of Hubris:
I could whip my genius-level college gf at backgammon, all day, all night. Bragged. Friend dropped his gf off for the challenge. “She’s pretty good man!” “Whatever.”
That woman whipped me stupid. Over and over and over again. I felt like a toddler.
I am no longer a proud man. I know my place.
If you play backgammon you remember where things are
Sounds like you play backgammon. You wouldn’t happen to know where my keys are? I’ve checked the freezer and everything…
The look on those kids faces. They dont know the word ‘fuuuuuuuuck’, but they know the feeling.
The psychic prowess of these men holding a ball suspended in the air really is something to behold
