Memories of backgammon [sponsored post]

Backgammon is not a game you generally think of as being played on-line. When I heard about PartyGammon I was not sure what to think of the site. I have played backgammon with my mom since I was a little child. It was one of the first games I can remember that my parents taught me to play, the other ones were cribbage and gin rummy.

It has been many years since I have had the time to sit down and play a game of backgammon with my mom, but I do remember loving to do that. It was not a contest of who could win so much as just kind of a puzzle on the best way to get your tiles to your own side of the board without getting any pounced on by your opponent. We had it all worked out where the best places to move for certain die rolls were. Then, at the end, we would always have a mad dash to get the pieces all off the board first with the dice never quite cooperating for us.

We play chess occasionally now, and still play gin rummy from time to time, but I need to find a backgammon game and challenge my mom to a game of backgammon again one of these days. I know I won't find the time, so I'll just have to make it.
