Backgammon is the oldest game in history. Also known as the "little battle," backgammon started in Mesopotamia (now known as Iraq) approximately 5000 years ago. However, Egyptians called backgammon "Senat," which is a similar form of the current game enjoyed right now. Hundreds of years ago, only people of power, the prevailing figures of royalty like Egyptian pharaohs, were able to play. The game began to spread around the world in time. Different Backgammon variants were created in several states and civilizations, but the general codes of those variants appear those of the antiquated form . For example, The Greeks grabbed a hold of the game and coined the title "bac gamen." From there, the English borrowed backgammon in the 1600’s and have remained with it ever since.
