Description

Despite being featured on the book cover in order to cash in on the mania for the game in 1931, backgammon receives a scant five pages of attention, though they include brief treatments of the modern doubling and chouette innovations. Note the stylish art deco numerals in the board diagram, which is also notable for numbering the points from 1-24.
