LOL, I bet 99% of Americans don't know how to play backgammon(which would include me). Sorry chap, but thats a English game through and through.

Oh dear, not to be pedantic but it's middle eastern in origin, second only to Mah Yong as the most played gambeling game in the world. I play online with loads of Americans, Canadians and even AUSSIES.

 

You should give it a try.

Backgammon is my family game. Everytime my dads side of the family has a gathering the board is out and we all play until we lose. I have been playing since I was like 4 or 5 I think. I played every once in a while on Yahoo, but didn't care to much for the people playing...
