Barsaman is a backgammon like game on a circular board. Using three dice each player tries to bear off his pieces using standard, double and triple moves. The dice determine in which ring on the board you are allowed to play. Along the way the opponent's pieces can be blocked or captured. Captured pieces help you finish the game early. Player with the most pieces borne off wins.
