Backgammon is the oldest game in history. It has been known as the "little battle," backgammon appeared in Mesopotamia (now known as Iraq) about five thousand years ago. For all that, Egyptians referred to backgammon as "Senat," which is a similar type of the present game enjoyed right now. Centuries ago, only men and women of power, the prevailing figures of aristocracy like Egyptian kings, were permitted to enjoy. The game began to expand around the globe over time. Different Backgammon variants were created in many countries and cultures, but the fundamental protocols of those variations are similar to that of the ancient form . For example, Greece grabbed a hold of the game and called it by the title "bac gamen." From there, the Anglo’s started playing backgammon in the 1600’s and have remained with it ever since.
