Bear Off! | Backgammon: Clubhouse 51

[@kylebrouwn6768]

This sounds like two eccentric super villains, who don't actually know how to be evil or menacing, hyping up a typical game of Backgammon as some really intense match.

[@robjohnsonmusicandgaming]

I love how Backgammon is a game that gets put away as you play it.

[@L33PL4Y]

Efficient!

[@blueplayer6197]

Only that it's not, much like chess and checkers, which often come on the flip side of the board, the backgammon pieces are stores inside the folded board and there's no slit for the disks IRL, instead the game starts with all the pieces already 'put away' as they are in the board and as someone wins, less and less pieces remain inside.

[@Alro12343]

​@@blueplayer6197 I had a backgammon board that was basically exactly like the one in the game. It does put the peices as you play. You just don't have a backgammon board that is high quality enough. All you have to clean up usually is the dice. and dice cups if you're using them.

[@firestorm1088]

Dan: “Including the one where you talk about the butt?” Most of us watching: Could you be more specific? Arin: immediately knows which one
