A computer version of backgammon and very like the real thing. A clear and concise double-sided instruction leaflet is better than the poor guidance provided with some other games.

You play against the computer - you use the black counters and the Vic plays with the white ones - and the player with the highest dice score stars.

The winner is the one who bears off all the counters first. So if you end while the computer has a counter on your side of the board you score three points.

If, as most people do, you play a series, award one point per match. Compulsive to play, Vic Gammon will keep you engrossed for a long time, even if you've never before played the board game.
