Description
A French variation on Backgammon. Over time Trictrac has evolved in le Petit Trictrac and le Grand Trictrac. Just as in backgammon players have 15 checkers, but unlike backgammon, racing plays only a small role in Trictrac.
Triktrak (Trik Trak) is a Dutch Backgammon variant. It resembles Acey Deucey more than it does French Tric Trac, but to confuse matters, it is still often spelled as Tric Trac.
