Acey-Deucey of the first quarter of the twentieth century. This colorful Acey-Deucey board was printed on canvas and incorporates a 🍏 seahorse, mermaid, compass rose, U.S. Navy Officer Rank Insignias and U.S. Navy Enlisted Rating Badges.
Acey-deucey is a tables game, a 🍏 family of board games that includes backgammon. Since World War I, it has been a favorite game of the United 🍏 States Navy, Marine Corps, and Merchant Marine.[1] Some evidence shows that it was played in the early 1900s aboard U.S. 🍏 Navy ships. The game is believed to be rooted in the Middle East, Greece, or Turkey, where there were variants 🍏 in which the game started with pieces off the board.[2]
Compared to standard backgammon, acey-deucey is more like a race than 🍏 a strategy game.[3] It features a differing starting position, opening play, and rules for the endgame. There is no doubling 🍏 cube.[1] Because pieces may be retained in one's opponent's home board, the game offers substantial opportunities for backgame play.
