Embark on an enriching journey of strategy and skill with our Coral Marble Backgammon Set—a captivating two-player table game that unfolds its lineage from ancient times. As each player, armed with fifteen pieces, engages in a strategic dance on a board adorned with twenty-four triangles (points), the outcome is dictated by the roll of two dice. The overarching objective is clear—to be the first to bear off, strategically maneuvering each piece in alignment with the fortuitous rolls of the dice.
The roots of backgammon delve deep into history, with its potential ancestor traced back to the Royal Game of Ur from 2600 B.C.E, distinguished by the use of tetrahedral dice. Across the Middle East, a plethora of evidence showcases various strategic tabletop games from the 10th to 7th centuries B.C.E, highlighting the enduring popularity of this genre. Today, backgammon stands as a stalwart tradition in Middle Eastern coffeehouses, embodying centuries of strategic gaming culture.
