Vanity Fair's Backgammon to Win (signed)Entry/Object ID
BG-2024.0118Description
The bold graphic design of this stylish little tome is in keeping with Vanity Fair‘s modern brand, but this book reads as a manifesto against the “Modern” version of the game. Georges Mabardi, Egyptian by birth, held that the ancient game of backgammon had been completely mastered long before 1930 and that neither the Chouette nor the new mania for Doubling had contributed anything new or useful to the game, but had rather corrupted it for reckless thrills.Inscription/Signature/Marks
