		These rules are from Hoyles Book of Rules, for those who need to know right now.
		Though the history of backgammon is incomplete, we do know that it is definitely one of the oldest games known to man. The oldest known source of backgammon dates back some five thousand years, however it is believed that the present form of the game evolved in the tenth century.
		In 1743 the famous Edmund Hoyle codified the rules and strategy and since then the only change recorded has been the addition of the doubling cube which has added to the challenge and stakes of the game.

		The many past variants of backgammon include Irish "ticktack"(from trictrac), the french name for the game....In England Edmund Hoyle** codified the rules and strategy of backgammon in 1743, and there has been little significant change, except for the introduction of "doubling", which produced a renascence of interst at about 1925
		The more popular version of the game is called "franji" (French, European), other versions are "mahbus" from the Arabic to mean "prisoner" and "maghrebi" which literally means "western" yet it may refer to a version from Maghreb, the Arabic name for Morocco.
		Edmund Hoyle, the famous writer and gamesman, published a work on backgammon in the mid 1700's in which he outlined the rules and documented the game's history.

		Like Edmund Hoyle, when he set out the rules for the game of whist in England in 1743, and forever coined the phrase, “According to Hoyle,” if a set of rules and procedures is established for submittals, and it is managed accordingly, the chances of reducing risk and achieving success can be greatly improved.
		Over 250 years ago, Edmund Hoyle evaluated the game of whist and set out rules and procedures for players to follow.
		His rules of games have prevailed over time to the extent that his authority is now communicated through a catch-phrase that is applied to all activities that benefit from a set of rules.

		Also in 1850, Hoyles' Games (H. Anners, Philadelphia) had a brief note about poker that described a full deck, ten players (therefore, no draw), and a bonus paid for any hand of trips or better.
		[ 47 ] The common reference "poker according to Hoyle" is curious because the English writer and lawyer, Edmund Hoyle (1672-1769), never heard of poker: he died sixty years before the game originated.
		But his authority for card-game rules grew until all card and board game rules became known as "Hoyles." Since many different "Hoyles" now exist, "poker according to Hoyle" depends on the editor and publisher of that particular Hoyle.
