Title: Backgammon with Sea Lions
Post by: roadkillbooks on November 24, 2009, 10:57:23 PM
Ok here it is like I promissed. Backgammon with SeaLions

To my knowlege this was the first backgammon game betweena human and a sea lion. The stakes were fish per point. Only one game was played and I lost after dropping a 2 cube after the sealion jumped my prime with a 1-6. The dog was going to rotate in if multiple games were played.I am aware of the trend for cates to play backgammon. But I expect that this will spark a trend of backgammon with the animals.

wonderful! i see your woof mentor is concentrating on the game in hand, a fine chap and mr sealion seems a stable fellow, although when i last went surfing on the west coast (>10 years ago now) - they gave me a few shocks! -- if only i had known they played BG......

Fantastic, I do hope this trend catches on, and perhaps expands to take in other sea mammals... ;)    :cool:
