Number Of People Playing With Backgammon Set On the Rise

Backgammon is one of the world's oldest games and it is played all over the world. The game has been found to go through phases of popularity, and recent research has shown that it is once again gaining a lot of interest. This comes as a welcome relief to many in a world where everything seems to be electronic. GrowUpSmart can confirm this interest in popularity through an increase in sales of their own backgammon set, which is available at https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Backgammon-Set-Board-Game/dp/B01HETP874.

Martin Reinhold from GrowUpSmart says: "I have played backgammon since I was a child, but I started to think it was a dying game. I should have known better, of course, since it has been around for some 5,000 years. I'm very happy to see that the game is once again becoming popular and that our particular set is becoming a best selling item."

Backgammon is one of the three oldest games in human existence, the other two being Chess and Go. It is believed to have been played for the first time around 5,000 years ago, in Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq. Recently, excavations have found ancient dice and other pieces in Iraq that are believed to have been used for backgammon. Interestingly, the dice and the various pieces were made from human bones.

While more and more people, particularly young people, now play with electronic games, there has been a strong revival of old-fashioned board games as well, and statistics has shown that backgammon is becoming popular again. "Backgammon is such a fascinating game," adds Martin Reinhold. "It is a game of strategy, statistics, logical thinking, and suspense. You can lose yourself for hours in this game, playing it again and again, while at the same time developing important skills. At GrowUpSmart, we want kids to grow up smart, as the name suggests, and one way to achieve that is by encouraging them to play backgammon."

Research has shown that those who play backgammon have better mathematical, analytical, and strategic thinking skills. People are encouraged to contact GrowUpSmart through their website at http://growupsmart.com/smart-tactics-backgammon-set/ for further information.
