Leveling Up with Ben Friesen - Beginner Backgammon Strategy

Today I’m joined by Ben Friesen, ranked master, tournament organizer/director, and above all; a nice guy. Join us as we play a match and go over a little backgammon strategy!

A special thanks to Ben for hanging out for a few days. Check out some of Ben's work below and make sure to say hi if you see him at a tournament.
