Did you know that the ancient Egyptian game of senet greatly resembled backgammon and its moves were controlled by moves of the dice. Now you’ll probably say, "so is snakes and ladders my man", to which I would reply "but the board used in this game, looked quite similar to a backgammon board and had the same token structure too!", at which point you would murmur something intelligible and continue reading.
So thats that. But what prompted me write this post? Apparently, BackgammonMasters have applied for a Guiness Gamer World Record for the farthest toss of dice on backgammon board. Sounds interesting and perhaps even something one could try for a lark, however giant dice and a spare helicopter may be a bit of an issue. Confused? Read the press release below:
