With Thumb Index And 27 Diagrams "Bar-Point" [51] pp. Thomas De La Rue & Co., Ltd. 1931 7 1/2" x 5" Contents Introduction Equipment Lay-Out or Set-Up of Board The Objective The Throw of the Dice The Move of the Men Bearing Off Doubling and Use of Doubling Cube or Doublock Scoring The Rules of Backgammon Rules Controlling Dice Rules Controlling Moves Automatic Doubling Doubling Initial Moves, Etc. Chouette Technique The Running Game The Blocking Game and Shutout The Back Game Definition of Terms in Backgammon It has been left to the present generation to revivify and bring back, with perhaps little alteration, the game that occupied the attention of their grandparents, and, although constantly practised by a few aware of its subtle charm even up to the present day, alas it has been forgotten by the many. Backgammon indeed dates back much farther than a mere couple of generations. It is on record that tables similar to Backgammon have been found in the Tomb of Tutankhamen, and in fact a similar game was indulged in by the Kings of Egypt and Ur of the Chaldees. Historians tell us the Roman Legionaries used to play on the tables, we imagine, much as our Tommies spent a few leisure hours playing Crown and Anchor, Housey, Housey, and similar games. It is well known as an ancient game in Japan and India, and, as Tric Trac, has been played for centuries in most European countries. The modern Backgammon may not be the leisurely game indulged in by our forebears. Its essentials, however, remain similar. The present-day mode of existence demands a game with some zest, some real thrill and some snap in it. In modern Backgammon we find a first-class game not only for two persons but a game in which a number can join. Backgammon provides a game both quick and fast in which one must exercise skill, judgment, alertness and foresight. Yet it is not a game which quickly palls or requires profound concentration as in Chess or even Bridge or Contract. As such it appeals to the youth of to-day. The introduction of the doubling system and the gambling element has done a great deal to re-popularise Backgammon, and the new Chouette has made it a popular pastime which has long been looked for by Hostesses all over the country. It is no wonder that, where it is increasingly difficult to get a four for Bridge, Backgammon tables are always constantly filled. *w/ pencil scribbling on a few pages*.…
