I used to enjoy playing games as a child.  But when I got married (the first time) my hubby was so highly competitive that anytime we played a game, if I won the game we never played it again.  There came a time when I finally just stopped playing games, it wasn’t worth living through the trauma of his poor sportsmanship, and I was tired of spending money buying games that only got played a few times!  My new(er) hubby says he enjoys playing some games, but I don’t know if he’s ever tried backgammon.  I don’t even know if we have a backgammon board - I know we USED to have one, but I’m not sure if we still do.

Backgammon seems to be my next door neighbor’s passion.  Whenever I drop over to see her, she is in the middle of an online backgammon game.  My neighbor says she spends a lot of time playing her games at the website http://www.bgprime.com.

I never learned to play backgammon, but it does seem like it would be a lot of fun to play.  I think I’m going to have to look up the rules at a Backgammon Online site and see what I can find out about learning how to play the game, and then maybe I can challenge my neighbor to a friendly game!
