Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Field of Invention

Invention relates to game boards specifically boards used for playing the game of backgammon.

Background of Invention

Backgammon, a board game has traditionally been played by two persons. The backgammon playing board used for ancient game is arranged with 24 positions over which the players alternatively move their respective 15 stones according to roll of dice. The board itself is divided into four quadrants or “tables”, with two tables per side and six triangular points per table. The basic object of the game is to be the first player to remove all of his stones from table. The Stones of two players are moved in opposite directions around the board. Initially each player has eight stones on his home side or home table and seven stones on opposite side or outside table.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1: Is Plan view of backgammon board in accordance with invention.

FIG. 2: Two black stones on position 3 and 6.

FIG. 3: black stone moved 11 steps from position 3 to 14

FIG. 4: black stone moved 11 steps from position 6 to 17

DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS OF INVENTION

In FIG. 1, Black arrow shows direction of movement for player with black stone (marked #2), white arrow shows direction of movement for player with white stones Marked #1) Player with black stone sees stone holder numbered from zero to “23” in black color on the direction which he needs to move his stones, white player sees stone holder marked from zero to 23 in white on the direction he need to move his stones. Each time player rolls a dice simply he could add numbers on the dice to current position of his stone and move it to new position.

For example let's say black player has two of his stones on position marked number “3” and “6” in black color (FIG. 2) and roll of dice is 5 and 6 he could easily move his stone on position “3” to position marked “14” FIG. 3 (5 plus 6 equal eleven plus his current position which is three) without worrying about counting positions one by one which is very time consuming and prone to error and many cases humiliating for beginners.

In our example naturally player could add eleven to “6” and move his stone from position 6 to position “17” in black number (FIG. 4). (or any combination he want to move his stones)
