Backgammon: Magnetic Travel - Tan Map

Magnetic Travel Backgammon, brought to you by Wood Expressions, is a two player strategy dice game, for players ages 9 and up.

As the oldest known game in recorded history, backgammon has been played by generations of gamblers from all over the world. Throughout the decades it has been linked with leaders of ancient civilizations such as Persia, Greece, Rome, and Egypt. Excavations have shown the backgammon traditionally was played on wood surfaces, using stones as markers, and dice made from bones. Archaeologists believe it derived from the game of Senet, an ancient Egyptian game found in King Tut's Tomb, a favorite pasttime among ancient Egyptians.

In English, the word "backgammon" is most likely derived from "back" and Middle English "gamen", meaning "game" or "play". Strategy and Luck blend harmoniously in this stimulating antiquity game.
