About the Glossary

The Backgammon Galore Glossary is compiled and edited by Tom Keith. The Glossary was first published in 1995. At the time it had approximately 100 entries, but over the years it steadily grew in size as new terms and definitions were added. Today the Glossary has over 700 entries, making it the most comprehensive dictionary of backgammon terminology anywhere.

One of the features of the Glossary are the links. There are over 2000 cross references, so you can easily find the meaning of any technical term you come across. Other features are: 150 references to external sources where you can find more information on a particular topic, and over 40 diagrams.
