What is Triktrak/Backgammon and where does its name come from?
The logic game called Triktrak in Polish was popular already in ancient times, especially in the Mediterranean basin but also in Middle Eastern, North African, and Asia Minor countries.
Its English name (backgammon) was coined in the 17th century and likely derives from the medieval word "gamen" meaning "back game." It refers to the rules: returning your checkers home, as well as the possibility of hitting and starting over.
To this day, Triktrak remains a folk game of Georgians, Armenians, Arabs, and Turks, and is also known in Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
Designed for two players, it will surely keep boredom at bay not only on gloomy days!
The model offered is crafted by the renowned Greek manufacturer Constatntions Manopoulos, established over four decades ago in 1970!
The company's name was chosen in honor of George Manopoulos, who created a new style of chess by combining wood with metal in the making of unique backgammon sets.
