Hebrew: shesh besh (שש בש), derived from the Persian and Turkish for "six" and "five". Persian: takhte nard, meaning "battle on a wooden board". Turkish: tavla Backgammon is essentially a race game, and luck plays a measurable role, but the game offers a significant scope for strategy. With each roll of the dice, a player must choose between numerous options for moving the checkers, and plan for possible counter-moves by his opponent. Opportunities for raising the stakes of the game introduce more strategic intricacies. |
