The Truth About Backgammon's History

True Backgammon consists of three different game-types. Ever since its inception somewhere in ancient Mesopotamia (the first multicultural society in human history), it includes these three games. The reason that backgammon was incepted is purely strategic -meaning that the inventors attempted to demonstrate their skills during strategic negotiations with others; its intent is similar with other 'mind games' like chess and the extinct now, royal game of Ur.

This page is about backgammon's true nature, and attempts to: 1) Highlight the exact nature of each game-type; 2) Clarify the true strategic approach of backgammon, and distinguish it from the 'gambling-related' status quo that dominates the global backgammon society since the 20th century; and 3) criticise the reasons why backgammon's true nature was dissolved into what it is today -and especially focus on the online dominance of only one type of gammon.
