“We don’t know who first added the doubling feature to backgammon, but we feel we owe him a great debt. Without the doubling feature, few people whold be playing backgammon today, and we probably wouldn’t have written this book.” -- Oswald Jacoby and John Crawford, “The Backgammon Book” (1970)

That was 1970, but today few people are playing backgammon. It has been declining in popularity ever since it became all about statistics and probability.
