Backgammon

It may be the oldest board game played in modern times and is popular throughout the Middle East. I met many backgammon players in Turkey. They make lovely sets of inlaid bone, mother-of-pearl and wood.

“Inside the great mystery that is, we don’t really own anything.
What is the competition we feel, then, before we go
one at a time, through the same gate? " . . . Rumi
