Strategies, tips and stories about backgammon.

Linear Backgammon From Mindgammon



Backgammon has been around for the longest time and it is but inevitable that variations come up every now and then. One of the fastest growing variations is called mindgammon which, according to its founders, is more of like a “distant cousin” of backgammon.

A press release from the company, Mindgammon Inc. describes the variation as:

Mindgammon is a variation of Backgammon, more like a distant cousin” says Christian Bailey, co-founder of Mindgammon, Inc. Mindgammon was developed by Wayne Hulsen, Chairman of the company, after nearly two decades of thinking and planning the next generation of Backgammon. Hulsen wanted to make the game more user-friendly, especially for the beginners, and at the same time keep it a highly tactical game that would challenge the players’ intellect. He felt it was near impossible to recover from a bad roll in Backgammon, whereas in Mindgammon, there is always a chance for recovery and opportunity to win. Many games of Mindgammon come down to each player having one checker left to bear off, that makes Mindgammon much more exciting to play.

The game is available for purchase from the company’s web site (www.mindgammon.com) and will be stocked at select retail stores across the USA and Canada in late fall 2008. Mindgammon will also be available in SkyMall catalogs.

For those of you who like to play backgammon and is looking for something innovative, then mindgammon just might be the game you have been looking for.
