Live Backgammon Tournaments

As of today, I will be providing backgammon fans information on all live backgammon tournaments. If you are tired of sitting in front of your computer and want to get more action, I suggest you watch this space.

One of most thrilling and anticipating moments of backgammon is the ever-important few seconds when you wait for the outcome of your roll. It is almost as if time stands still as you watch and wonder if luck is on your side that day. You probably like the idea of being able to physically touch and roll the die, and knowing that these things directly affect the course of the gam. There is no question that online games have their fair set of advantages, but nothing beats the occasional live game where every touch of the die and every facial expression can only add to the already high level of excitement and anticipation.

The most exciting face-to-face games are, for sure, those that belong to a tournament. Tournaments have a different mood, a different quality within them.. Take my word on it; such a day is hard to forget. Please find below a list of backgammon tournaments set to launch in May.
