@Brigantyna,
I was going to try, but I think your request is actually impossible.
There are about ten specific rules that need to explained and without illustrations I doubt Ernst Hemingway could describe each rule in less than 5 words. If you’re ever at the People’s Pub in Seattle, I’ll be glad to teach you how to play.
We’ve played backgammon before. WTF? Granted, this was, like, 20 years ago, but as always, anything further back than last Tuesday never happened, so…when you come home for Christmas, we’ll sit down and figure it out (and there are my 50 words)
Galaxian FTW… Wow… The memories… good times, good times…
Could someone, in 50 words or less, explain Backgammon to me?!
You should ask that Wiki guy. He’s played backgammon before.
@SouthernOracle – you clearly missed the “50 words or less” section of my comment. Thanks for playing, though.
Backgammon: Checkers, sort of. No king. Straight line only. Doubling dice. Go from your home to their home. Win, lose, die.

@RSIxidor – thank you for your valiant attempt, it’s much appreciated.
@The Matrix: Rebooted – if I’m ever in Seattle, I’ll look you up. Any game that takes more than 50 words to explain is definitely worth trying.

Christ dude, how drunk was I?!
Well, I as 11 and you were 15…so we were pretty fucking hammered.
*raises glass*
Wow. I played/owned more than half of those back when they were first out.
