ABSTRACT:
A four player backgammon game board in which the game board is designed to have six points of alternating colors located at the middle of each side of a four sided square game board providing twenty-four total points on the game board. Four players are provided with optimally nine stones of a color different than the other players to use on the game board. Each player's outer table, inner table, and direction of play is determined by color coding the game board with bands and arrows. There are three different color coded variations of the basic game board using colors corresponding to the colored stones of the players. At the beginning of each game, each player is required to enter his stones on to his respective color coded outer table according to the roll of two dice.
