Backgammon is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia in the Persian empire or present day Iran, Iraq, and Syria. It is the oldest known recorded board game. Backgammon was typically played on surfaces such as wood, using stones as markers, and dice made from bones, stones, wood, or pottery and it can be traced back thousands of years to board games played by the Egyptians, Sumerians, Romans, and Persians.

Our Backgammon Group meet every 3 weeks. Currently not on a specific day but this could change as the group develops.

We rotate round members homes and there is no change for participating.

No specialist knowledge of the game is expected or required. Our focus is always on fun and members consist of those who have played regularly, those who haven't played for years and those who have never played before.
