Laquet

Laquet is a historic Castilian table game that was considered a new game in the 13th century. It may be the ancestor of Jacquet. Unlike Backgammon and most other tables games, it has an asymmetrical starting position; only three of the four quadrants are used and the pieces may not be ‘hit’.

Why is Laquet Popular?

Laquet is a significant game because it is one of the oldest known board games. It is also an ancestor of other popular games such as Jacquet and Backgammon.
