Backgammon game, immerse yourself in the exciting world of MB

Backgammon belongs to the family of board games. It is similar to the famous game of trictrac, but more simplified. It consists of a number of elements, the most important of which are :

The game board

It is a flat apron that opens like a briefcase. Required to play backgammon Inside this board you can see two sets of 12 arrows or alternating light and dark dots. Each arrow forms a triangle or square numbered from 1 to 24. A square is simply a step toward the player. A square is simply a step toward the exit, the outer part of each board, which forms a battlefield where strategy and luck will decide the winner. Our collection combines aesthetics and functionality. We offer you game tables designed with the highest quality materials.

The counters

Each board contains two sets of 15 pieces of two different colors. Guided by each player, the pieces move in one direction against their partner’s: from point #1 to point #24 and vice versa. Each moving pawn reflects all the tactics, messengers of each opponent’s ingenuity. Our instantly recognizable pawns are made of the finest materials. They glide perfectly. Their unparalleled durability is sure to appeal to collectors. Each color used on the board has been carefully selected to enhance each game.

The dice

Backgammon is played with two pairs of dice, one for each player. These small six-sided cubes, illustrated with the numbers 1 to 6, are the masters of chance. Each roll introduces an element of uncertainty before the tokens are moved. As in some domino games, this makes each move and each game unique. But good strategy will tame the chaos they represent. It creates the perfect balance of luck and skill. Our dice are designed to last.

The doubling cube

The true tactical symbol of backgammon is the use of the doubling cube, known as the “videau,” with its faces showing 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64. It allows each opponent to double their bet and raises the stakes. The cube is the centerpiece of our sets. It is made of noble materials that add a touch of gravity to every doubling decision.

How do you play our Backgammon games?

Think these board games are complicated? Think again. This is a classic game that is accessible to everyone. The rules are simple once you learn the essentials.

 

The beginning of the game

First of all, it’s a two-person game. And before we talk about strategy, let’s look at the set-up. Each player’s 15 pieces are placed on a 24-point board, divided into four quadrants. The two players compete in each game, with the goal of moving all their pieces on the board. Players compete to move them clockwise toward the exit. Before playing a turn, however, each player must carefully consider how to move their pieces on each square on the board.

The direction of movement of the pieces

The basis of this board game is the movement of the checkers. This is determined by the roll of two dice in turn by each player. This is the element of chance in backgammon. However, cunning and strategy come into play when deciding how to use the dice. Each turn, you can move one marker from the total number of the two dice or two markers separately, corresponding to each of the dice. The secret? Anticipate the opponent’s moves and protect the position of the counters by moving them carefully.

Capturing an opponent’s pawn

During a game, capturing an opponent’s piece means that a player lands on a square or position already occupied by a single opponent’s piece, thus sending this piece into the bar in the center of the board. A piece hit, the blot, must start over from the beginning, in the opponent’s board, after being placed back on the board of the affected player. This attack technique can alter the balance of the game. It is played to disrupt the opponent’s play and create opportunities for counterattack.

The rule of the empty box

During the game, each square can be occupied strategically by multiple pieces belonging to the same player. A square occupied by at least two pieces from one player becomes a blocked point, preventing the opponent from landing there. This tactic can significantly change the course of the game, limiting the opponent’s possible moves.

Gap value

It allows players to propose doubling the points in play at a time when they have a solid board or feel they are in a strong position, or perhaps to intimidate their opponent. However, using the doubling cube wisely requires insight and courage. Would you have the courage to double when victory seems close, knowing that it could also double your loss if the situation turned against you? It is a real puzzle if you want to win the game!

Towards the end of the game: checkers come out

Once all the tokens in one’s inner quadrant have been collected, the grand finale begins-the start of the battle against the opposing board. Each dice draw determines the number of checkers each player can remove from the board. However, this phase is not without risk. If, by bad luck, one of your tokens is captured and placed on the middle bar during this critical phase, you are obliged to put it back on the board. This token must cross the entire board again to reach its own inner quadrant before you can think about removing other tokens. During a game, if all tokens are removed from within the board, you win. If you wish, you can move on to the next game!

It is a two-person strategy game that stimulates the mind, encourages reflection and offers endless potential for fun. A passion for this pastime led to the creation of our MB brand.
