Abstract
A backgammon game for three or more players uses a modified board 34. At least the particular graphic domains or points 38A-H upon which the playing pieces are placed before starting the game are represented as clusters of two or more points each numbering at least half the number of players the board is intended to accommodate. The points within a respective cluster share the same colour or shade. When moving pieces during play, each cluster may count as a single point, and when stopping his piece on a cluster a player may choose which point of the cluster to place his piece on. The multi-point clusters allow two players to place their pieces on the same points at the start of the game, thus allowing more than two players to play on the same board. The game and board may take the form of a computer or video game. To accommodate four players, the game start points 38A-H comprise clusters of two points, whilst the remaining points are single points. For a six player game (see figure 4), the game start points (46A-H) comprise clusters of three points, whilst the remaining points each comprise clusters of two points.
