Beginner Backgammon Tutorial - 5 - Making Points

[skasperl]

Just discovered.

I'm not a pro but I'm playing for a while now. I would make the 7 point for two reasons:

- you have three points in a row, which makes it harder for your opponent to get out.

- you have the 7 and the 8 point for your chips on the 13 point.

Is there a real win on making the 5 point (I mean by winning percentage) or is it just a favor?

-d.

These "points" are called bridges.

Why is it called backgammon and not "sorry the spikey version!"

[Hector95100]

my mom and i have played a game called "ace-e doo-c" is ace-e doo-c based off backgammon. because the way we played it is all the rules are the same and all but the way we start off is with all our chips in the holder, instead of them on the board already.

@Hector95100 I think it's just a different way to play it.
