Thank you to all who have supported the Backgammon in Elviria, that we started recently.
The next session will be on Tuesday 10th November, followed by Tuesday 24th November, at El Barracon tapas bar in Elviria with Lynda, and Scott giving lessons. If you wish to play please just turn up on the day, or reply to this email.
If you have a Backgammon set hiding in a cupboard, please bring it along, so we can have more people playing. It doesn’t matter how old as the game hasn’t changed.
Backgammon is one of the oldest known boardgames, dating back approximately 5,000 years to ancient Mespotamia. It is still widely played today all around the world.
Players race to move their chequers round the board, using dice to dictate moves. Each game lasts about 15 minutes. Its competitive in a friendly way.
Regular play sharpens mental abilities due to its blend of planning, problem solving and memory with an element of risk or luck, due to dice use. At the same time it is a very social game, where you can chat and joke, whilst playing and is much more relaxed than bridge or chess.
Sessions in San Pedro continue on Mondays at 3pm.
We hope to see you there!
