Seven To Ten

It is a long time since I played backgammon. Yeah, the childhood game which took up so much of my time back then. My friend introduced me to the idea of playing online backgammon and told me about this site, Backgammon Masters.

I was browsing the site when I saw they were trying to achieve a Guinness Gamer World Record in farthest backgammon dice toss. Imagine tossing 2 backgammon dices out of a helicopter onto a gigantic backgammon board-shaped field. A staff, communicating via walkie talkies, will then move the checkers.

For visual impact, everything is huge here. The size of checkers are 3 feet in diameter and the winner will keep the backgammon dice, custom made out of a special inflatable material to withstand the impact of the fall. It is valued at 1,000 Euro, or even priceless if you consider it is limited edition for this event only. Special event tickets will also be sold and all proceeds will go to charity.

I am sure the amount of publicity generated for their Backgammon Freeroll tournaments will be immense. The site also offers Poker and Blackjack games but I will pass on that since I do not have much luck in gambling. If you need live customer support, it is available.

I will get back to my backgammon game for now..
