Gammon & Backgammon, scoring in backgammon game
The player who gets all his men off first wins the game. In the event that the opponent has not been able to take a man off, the winner will be paid double. Such a situation is called a gammon. If, when a player has gotten all his men off, and his opponent not only has not taken a man off, but has a man on either the bar or on the winner's home board, the winner has a backgammon, worth triple.
