Backgammon, cards and chess are games that can be played over and over again. You might be surprised how much fun it is to challenge yourself or a friend in these three games.
The culmination of a long transformation of games, backgammon gives us the opportunity to take a magnificent leap into the history of civilizations.
Backgammon has been played for over 5,000 years and is one of the oldest board games in history. The rules are simple: Players take turns rolling dice and moving their pawns around the board trying to get all of their pawns into certain spaces first.
The history of backgammon says it was invented by King Solomon's wife, who was looking for a way to keep her husband away from other women. She ordered her servant to invent a game that would entertain him, but not distract him too much, so that he could always come home at night as she wished.
The advantages of playing Backgammon are numerous! It is an extremely social game as you can play with friends or family members. Backgammon is fun for adults because it helps improve memory skills; kids love it because it requires no reading comprehension skills; older adults love it because it keeps them active without putting too much strain on their bodies.

And the strongest thing is that if we add the points of all the cards and the joker, we get 365 like the 365 days of the year. And if there are two jokers, we get 366, a leap year.
