Name/Title
Russian backgammonDescription
D. B. Faloon, an unknown figure who made only this one contribution to Vanity Fair, lays out the rules of Russian backgammon along with a transcription of a sample game. It seems a considerably less nuanced game than standard backgammon, with heavy bonuses for rolling doubles and 21 (à la acey-deucey), but you never know until you try!
Elizabeth Clark Boyden includes a chapter on Russian backgammon in 'The New Backgammon,' and another on French backgammon, but none of the other writers seem to take an interest.Publication Details
