I have written a short blog post providing an overview of some of the ancestors of backgammon.

Read it at https://bgammon.org/blog/20240115-history-of-backgammon/

https://bgammon.org is a free and open source online backgammon service.

I think referring to regional/historical variants of this
game is too loosely, generically as "backgammon" is wrong.

The considerably different variant played with the cube
should be given a different name also. I propose and use
"gamblegammon" since the introduction of the cube was to
turn it into a game for gamblers...
