ABOUT BACKGAMMON |
Backgammon is probably the world's oldest game.
Backgammon is a game that takes five minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. One of the first lessons a new player needs to learn is that Backgammon is not just about the luck of the dice. Backgammon brings in skills around strategy, risk and opportunity management, psychology, stamina, emotional self-control and as much or little mental arithmetic as you can handle.

ABOUT US |
We are a mixed bunch of players based in and around South Hams that meet up twice a month, on the first and third Thursday, for an informal tournament. It doesn't matter who wins or loses, the key is to have fun and meet others passionate for the intriguing game of Backgammon. We range from absolute Beginners to experienced Experts but all still learning about this endlessly fascinating game - and we are delighted to teach others. All skill levels welcome.
We a play a format that allows you to play all night till 10pm, win or lose. The Backgammon is free to play but we ask that you support the venue, the Sportsmans Arms, by making good use of their excellent food and drinks menus. We are more likely to be invited back if we make it worth their while. |
ABOUT THE SPORTSMAN ARMS |
The Sportsmans Arms is great venue with sea views, great food and very friendly accommodating staff. There is plenty of free parking and plenty of space to accommodate Backgammon players.
We do ask all players to seriously consider having dinner at the Sportsmans in return for taking up their table space. Thanks for your understanding. |
