Just got back from Turkey where out of the blue saw a small shop selling backgammon accessories and found some really nice heavy plastic checkers to replace the terrible wooden ones I got with my arabic wooden board many moons ago:
Still makes a hell of a racket every roll of the dice but there is something very satisfying about the heavy clacking of wood on thick, dense plastic which is keeping me smiling so far

I used to play with my HS science teacher every day and he would always win. I literally won one game a year, for four years.
Went back recently to give a talk to current students (about my work), and hunted him down for a rematch. Me thinking I'm hot stuff, and yet he completely owns me.
He had me on the bar, about to gammon me, one of his pips left on the board. I roll the miracle double to both hit him and get off the bar. I make an end run, and get down to MY last pip... when he hits HIS miracle double to knock me off and win in one fell swoop.

Acey-Ducey is one of the most brutal games in the world. I play similar to the Euro varient.
