Back and Back, again …

Well, there’s a thing.

I’ve got to admit, last night wasn’t a movie night.   Basically, I couldn’t get enough people together.

But, bless him, Paul popped over for a cuppa, and a couple of games of Backgammon; something I’ve played for years, but Paul hadn’t.

Rather enjoyable evening, all told.

But, just in case you’d not heard of Bavkgammon, or played it for yourself, I’d suggest having a couple of games, just to try it and see what you think.

The screenshot, above, is from my copy of the rather good shareware Absolute Backgammon application, which you can download, here.   But there’s also various open source versions, as well as online ones.   There’s also FIBS — the First Internet Backgammon Server — which is seems extensive, but I’m still getting the hang of.

You can also check out the Wikipedia page about it, it’s got some very handy links.

Worth checking out, I always think.
