Whether it's around a backgammon game table or sitting at a virtual table online, backgammon is a truly exciting game. Some of the reasons why backgammon is so popular is that the rules are simple and easy to learn but the strategy and the act of out-thinking your opponent require skill and practise. If you like testing your wits against other people and are interested in learning how to improve your game at all times, then backgammon is for you.

Backgammon is becoming increasingly popular with chess and poker fans. It's not difficult to see why when you look at what these three games have in common. Like poker and chess, backgammon is a game of skill where you need to learn how to think a few moves ahead. You need to build strategy and make the most of your opponent's weaknesses to leave the backgammon game table a winner.

Unlike poker however, backgammon allows you to test your skills against one opponent. This is fun when you start learning how your opponent thinks and can use your skills to throw him off his game plan. The atmosphere around the backgammon game table is usually social and friendly, but don't mistake this for a strictly friendly game. Backgammon is just as competitive as poker and chess, especially when there is substantial money up for grabs.

If you haven't already tried backgammon, we recommend that you find a live backgammon game table to sit down at, or try any one of the exciting backgammon sites online for your first game.
