Many
variations
of
the
game
will
suggest
themselves
as
you
proceed;
but
the
above
will
suffice
to
show
the
plan
and
system
of
Solitaire.

Backgammon.
A
game
of
mingled
chance
and
skill,
played
on
a
board
marked
with
points,
and
generally
to
be
found
inside
the
box
draughtboard.
The
board
has
twenty-four
points,
coloured
alternately
red
and
blue;
the
implements
of
play
are
fifteen
draught-men
on
each
side,
and
the
movements
of
the
men
are
determined
by
the
throw
of
two
dice;
each
player
being
provided
with
a
dice
box
and
dies.
It
is
an
elaborate
game
to
explain
on
paper,
and
would
occupy
too
much
space
to
be
given
in
detail
in
this
work.
Those,
however,
who
desire
to
be
fully
informed
as
to
its
various
intricacies,
may
consult
"Bohn's
Handbook
of
Games,"
or
the
cheaper
and
more
concise
treatise
by
Captain
Crawley.

This
game
is
played

but
on
the
face
divided
by
a
black
line
in
the
middle,
and
indented
with
spots,
from
one
to
a

which
pieces
are

which

the
