Backgammon is Thought to be the Oldest Game in the World
November 30, 2009 in Board Games by Trish
Backgammon is thought to be the oldest game in the world, and archaeologists have found backgammon sets that date from as long ago as 3,000 BC. It is a classic game of luck combined with strategy, as you must roll dice and then choose how best to move. The great thing about backgammon is that the rules are simple to explain, but mastering the game can take a lifetime. Unlike chess, the game is also quick to pick up and play, with games often lasting only a few minutes.
Basically, there are two sides on a backgammon board, each with twelve spaces, for a total of twenty-four spaces. These spaces are numbered from 1 to 24 in opposite directions for the two players, so player one’s space 1 is player two’s space 24, and so on. Where each players’ counters (checkers) are placed varies depending on the rules being used, but a common configuration is five on 6 and 13, three on 8, and two on 24.
To begin the game, you each roll one of the dice, and the player who rolls the highest gets the first turn using the numbers from both dice. The rule is that each number is a move, so if you roll a one and a six, you can move one checker one space and one checker six spaces.
This is where it starts to get a bit complicated, but stick with it. When you’re deciding which checker to move and where, you have to consider which moves are allowed. Your checkers can only move to spaces that have no checkers, only your checkers, or only one of your opponent’s checkers – you cannot move to any space that has two or more of your opponent’s checkers. However, if you land on a space where your opponent has only one checker, you have taken it and can put it on the ‘bar’ in the middle of the board. The bar counts as ‘space zero’ for dice rolls, and any checkers there must be moved before the others can be.

The Fun of Gaming Need Not Be Expensive
November 20, 2009 in Board Games by Trish
With the advanced graphics, shading, 3D rendering and complicated gameplay involved in today’s console games, it would be strange not to be attracted to them. But, the problem with these games is that they are expensive, requiring the purchase of the console and the game software. And if you’re going to play then on the PC, there are software and hardware requirements to consider. And most of the times, you have to upgrade your current system just to play the game that you want. Then you would also have to face installation and game issues after installation. For the avid gamer, he or she would say that it was all worth it. Yet as cool as console games are, you don’t need one to enjoy games. You don’t need to go out of your way and spend a lot just to experience the fin of gaming. One easy and economical alternative for people with limited budgets are online games.
Online games feature the same diversity of games as console games do. You can play online shooting games and online war strategy games through online game sites. There are also computer arcade games based on popular arcade titles. And for those who prefer adventures, computer games adventure-themed are also offered by gaming sites. So when it comes to gaming action, online games are not lacking in number and diversity. Also, these games feature flash technology, which is not bad in the graphics and animation department. The sounds and audio aren’t too shabby either. Online games feature just the right balance between graphics, gameplay, animation and level of difficulty. You can’t expect online games to be as sophisticated as your console games, but online games are engaging enough for a good game experience. Of course, console games are on different level, but online games are comparable in quality; more than what you’d expect from games that you can play for free.
That is right—free action games, free online shooting games, and free online adventure games are widely available in the internet. This is one advantage of online games against console games. Online games are free and you don’t need to spend anything just to enjoy a good game. Nor should you bother with upgrades or installation issues. So if you’re short on cash, don’t let that hinder you from playing a good game. Just go with online games and play all you want for free.
