The game in detail - backgammon explained

Backgammon is one of the oldest board games in the world and has a long tradition. The players each put 15 stones on the game board and try to strategically bring their stones to the finish. A passage can go very quickly, which underlines the dynamics of the game. This pace and the strategic considerations make every game a unique experience.

The enthusiasm for Backgammon is not only evident in the world championship. The community is growing continuously, and events like this contribute to the fact that the game will continue to win many fans in the future. For Aachen itself, this event could be the start of a new era for thinking.
