It uses the same board layout and starting position as modern backgammon: players roll dice and move their pieces around a board of 24 points. The game became so popular for gambling that it was officially banned several times, starting in 689 AD. Today it is recognized as one of the historical ancestors and close relatives of backgammon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique backgammon design – Japanese ukiyo-e style art instead of a generic board graphic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for backgammon players, board game fans and lovers of Japanese art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic relaxed fit that works on its own or layered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Backgammon Galaxy, the online backgammon community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric weight: 5.0–5.3 oz\/yd² (170–180 g\/m²)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-end yarn, tubular fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaped neck and shoulders for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble seam at sleeves and bottom hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint: front design, plain back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: S to 5XL, unisex fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on demand – blank sourced from Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Bangladesh or Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs ban-sugoroku the same as backgammon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery nearly.
