Backgammon is a board game for two players in which pieces are moved according to the roll of dice. One wins the game by removing all of one's own pieces from the board. Many variants of the game have developed throughout the world, but most of them share common traits. It is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.
Backgammon offers a significant scope for strategy and heavily relies on skill. With each roll of the dice, a player must choose from numerous options for moving the checkers and plan for possible counter-moves by the opponent. Opportunities for raising the stakes of the game introduce more strategic intricacies. Players have developed a vocabulary for common tactics and occurrences.

TRICK-TRACK! 3.00

The idea of the Game is to defend the Ball from reaching the RED AREA behind you, also you should shoot the ball to make it reach the opposite RED AREA to gain a point. When the ball falls in one of the two pockets on either sides of the red area, it is sent from one of the two opposing pockets with a higher speed.
