I of course refer to the game of Backgammon. We have no rule book, and there is some discussion about what the difference is here in DaLovin’Pad.
If it does not involve hookers, I may have lost a bet.

A gammon is a win in which you prevent your opponent from bearing off any of his own pieces, and is scored at double value. A backgammon is a win in which you prevent your opponent from bearing off any of his own pieces and also win while one or more of your opponents pieces resides either in the bar or in your home board (the portion of the board where your pieces must all reside before you’re permitted to bear off your own pieces). A backgammon is scored at triple value.
So when do the hookers come in? Damn it. I’m gonna have to stop learning how to play board games at bachelor parties.
Thanks. Just what I needed.
Actually Caldazar has it slightly wrong there.
A Backgammon occurs if your opponent still has pieces ANYWHERE on the board outside his home board.
The opponent could have 14 pieces inside his home table and one piece on the 7th point just outside his home table. But if you move your last piece off the board at that stage and win then you have backgammoned your opponent.
Your opponents pieces don’t have to be in your home table. All that’s required is that at least one of his pieces is outside his home table.
I’m not sure where the hookers come into it.
Sorry I want to completely retract that last post. Caldazar is right. What I was describing is a gammon not a backgammon.
Sorry Caldazar for impugning your integrity.
Dont know what I was thinking.
