I have a backgammon game (portable) somewhere but have never learned to play.

It has been sooooooo much cooler today and have had some lovely soaking rain for which my garden has been crying out for. Take care and God bless. Hugs.
Hello all my fellow puzzlers, hope you all have a wonderful day. Backgammon is really quite fun to play, but you are right you do need a partner. Aussie glad to hear it was cooler and your garden got a much needed drink of water. Love the quotes today. Thanks for taking the time to find them.Be safe out there.

Hi Darambo and Jamie, it is still raining this morning, so much needed relief for the garden and for me as well. Have to go and get some groceries today as my usual shopping day will be taken up with the ultrasound which is tomorrow. Take care and God bless. Hugs.

You can play Backgammon with a computer know. If it's not in your game section (Windows) you can download it. Usually you play with a partner but now you can play against the computer.

I know how you feel about excessive heat, Aussie. When I was younger in the 50's and 60's, I enjoyed summer. It was nowhere near as insufferable as it is now. I spend most of my day in the house after 11:00. I do not come out until the sun is behind the hills in the evening. It is beyond me why anyone wants to live in hot climates. Sweating is not enjoyable, at least to this 63 year old woman.
I think it's a lot like playing Parchisi. The board is just different.

Hi Pixiixil The reason I am so lonesome is because my lovable husband of 32 tears died in Sept 2015 - that was 15 months ago. My one and only child, a daughter whom I have not seen for 10 months, in other word they her family neer came down to see me over Xmas/New Year, so sad it is. I love to have someone share my empty life. xx

I am so sorry your daughter is so thoughtless. I will pray she wakes up to your need for her company and does something about it. I can apperciate your distress. The day my husband dies, (I hope not for many years) with my only child already dead, I will be quite alone unless I can move across the country and my only brother, who so far has been surviving prostate cancer, is still alive. Have you any relatives at all near whom you could relocate?

That is so sad. However, try to keep busy. It helps. I love doing these puzzles in my free time. Also, have signed up for some e-mails--National Geographic, etc. Have learned some interesting things. Keeps me occupied and learning.
Love this game...great strategy.....I even took it to work so I could play on my lunch time.....but now I have no one who want's to play anymore. Getting old is a bummer. Even my sister who is younger then me hates to learn new things......I love to learn new things.
I used to play backgammon a lot and got quite good at it. It's an easy game to learn, but a difficult one to master. It's more like a combination of checker (drafts) and chess than it is like Parcheesi, though there are similarities. It's both fun and challenging.
I love playing backgammon, but no one around to play with. Several years ago my husband bought me a hand held version. I was so happy. Then I found out my game cheats. Would roll 2 dice and come up at 9 dots each. Oh well, I love the idea that Tom got this for me.
