Backgammon - breaking news, gossip, slander, LIES etc.

I read (onliine obvs) that the total number of "pips" on the dice needed to get all your pieces out is 365 😲

SO the game has 24 spaces on the board, 30 pieces, all the numbers are significant astronomically

except it was a fat and easily demonstrable LIE - i'm so disappointed especially as :horrors: i already shared that shiny nugget of knowledge with a couple of people

It costs $1500 to enter the World Championships, and the guy who won it this year won it last year too - how's that for luck.
