THE GAME:
Backgammon is a board game for two players. Each player has 15 pawns which he moves along 24 triangles by rolling two dice. The aim of the game is to be able to remove all one’s checkers, trying to block the opponent. In backgammon the cycles of life can be identified: the pawns, discordant chromatic elements represent the alternation of day and night, the number of points the months of the year, the 30 pawns the days of the month, the roll of the dice the revolution of the planets.
