Backgammon has gained some new popularity since computer programs appeared that were able to beat humans and more importantly, analyze the games afterwards.
The game is now played more as a game of skill than of luck: there are some backgammon sites that rate your play according to computer analysis, e.g. https://backgammongalaxy.com/ https://backgammongalaxy.com/.
If you're interested you should give it a try.
- mstade 7y agoI have tried it actually, but thanks for the tip anyway! :o) I'm curious about this surge in popularity though. Where I am (Sweden) most people seem to know about backgammon, but not many know how to play so can't say I recognize that surge. Regardless, people mostly seem keen to learn which is great fun for me since I love to teach, and it's a great feeling when they win without any help on strategy or moves. :o)
- misja111 7y agoIf you'd like to see some good players in action: there are a few backgammon tournaments in Sweden with some world class participants. For instance https://dubbel5.se/tournaments/SO2109.html https://dubbel5.se/tournaments/SO2109.html
