Backgammon - Golden Birds

Backgammon belongs to one of the oldest board game families in the world, the dice table games, and has its origins in human history over 5000 years ago.

Despite the almost overflowing abundance of new, complex, exciting and elaborate game developments, such timeless classics continue to enjoy unbroken popularity. Like chess, Go or Reversi, backgammon is played and enjoyed by many hundreds of thousands of people around the world in their leisure time or in competition.

Although the game is mainly played with dice, it is not a game of chance. The simple but ingenious basic rules create a tactical and mentally challenging brain game from the group of two-person zero-sum games with perfect information.

The aim of the game is to roll your own pieces out of your home field. You have to make clever moves to prevent your opponent from capturing individual pieces and thus gaining a lead in terms of turns and time. This is because captured pieces must first be rolled back into play before you can make a regular move.

Over the course of time, hundreds of variants have developed, each with their own local characteristics. Additional rules, modified starting positions and different victory conditions also invite young people in all countries of the world to enjoy the fascination of backgammon.

All variants, no matter what they are called and which country they come from, have the game board with the characteristic triangular squares in common, even if other shapes exist.

I created an elaborately decorated version for the VBR, which was inspired by an exhibit in the Dresden Residenzschloss (permanent exhibition of the armory: "World view and knowledge around 1600").

Wikipedia - Backgammon

I call my creation "Backgammon - Golden Birds" and it is intended to be reminiscent of the arts and crafts of the 16th to 18th centuries, even if I am not aiming for a historical reference to a specific era.

You can find great physical versions of this game at the following link.

Bugersi

Bugersi is a Reversi or Flip'em variant, which more or less adheres to the corresponding rules. You can of course play with the little ladybugs however you like. There are no limits to your imagination. This game is fascinating not only because of its simple and easy-to-understand rules, but also because of its complex, strategic depth. It is not so easy to predict which constellation the beetles will take after two consecutive moves. It is easy to overlook a row which your opponent can then take for himself. If you are too greedy, you can be lured into traps and whoever masters the corner squares has a good chance of winning the overall game. World championships are held every year with the basic principle of capturing opposing stones by enclosing them horizontally, vertically or diagonally. In Japan in particular, it is as popular as Go. The game is created exclusively for the VBR and is free for all Lords of the Board
