About NC-Backgammon Well known classical backgammon is an ancient two-player game, at least a thousand years, older than chess according to some estimates. It is a game of luck and skill, because it involves dices. In this page we construct a new backgammon which we call No Chance Backgammon (NC-Backgammon) (in Turkish Zarsız Tavla)since it does not involve chance (no dice). Instead of a random element, players choose their own numbers under certain constraints in full view of the opponent. The idea for this new game is simple but profound, and transforms a game of chance into a perfect-information game. This means that each opponent knows the strategies of the other, as well as their own. Therefore this game becomes as rich and interesting as chess. It is an interesting innovation in backgammon. The idea, playing backgammon without dice, was introduced by Naim Çağman in 2002. Now it is given here as a new game to the international backgammon players who would like to play without chance. NC-Backgammon is part of The IAGO World Tour.
