The only people who could understand this guy are people who already know how to play IMO, and even then, he’s not very clear.
This has inspired me to make a tutorial. :) Shame my backgammon board is so small… :/

This fellow is NOT a good teacher of the game.

For new players who want to learn, I recommend the “monkeyseevideos” series, with host Vic. He’s clear, takes it slowly, and covers different situations. Do a youtube search for user “monkeyseevideos”. He uses white and blue checkers on the board, so you know you have the right vids when you see that. Good luck.

Yeah, since you can’t understand it, it must be the GAME that is stupid.

Seriously, backgammon is not that hard to learn (at least the basic rules). It’s very similar to Parcheesi. The board setup is kinda weird, true, but after that, it’s not hard to comprehend.

It is hard to understand until you actually play a few games and have someone explain the rules as you go. After that it becomes really easy to understand.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Man this is funny. I’ve watched so many videos and have an instruction booklet on this game, and still have no idea how to play it. Why is it so difficult to explain? There’s this wacky new language just invented called English. I wish soneome would learn that and then say how to play this retarded game. HAHAHAHA! God damn… this must be the stupidest game ever… I can’t get enough though… the fact that Gus Hanson can’t even explain it worth a shit!!! HAHAHA!!! Holy FUCK!

Thanks for the video! Great job. Don’t listen to these others with nasty comments. It’s par for the course with Youtube these days. :)
