Su Yan asked the carpenter to do Go?

No, it's not Go, Su Yan doesn't know how to play Go.

Su Yan can play chess, but those things like chess are a little unsuitable for the dragon tribe for the time being.

There is a method of playing chess that Su Yan played when he was in school in his previous life, which can be called backgammon, but Su Yan called it "five points and one line" after being updated.

With that kind of Tian character grid, two people, one person draws O, one person draws X, encirclement and blocking, whoever first connects five points horizontally or vertically or obliquely into a straight line, is the winner.

At that time, the five-point line brought Su Yan a lot of joy, and among his classmates, Su Yan was also a master of playing backgammon.

Now Su Yan is ready to take out the backgammon, but it's too wasteful to play backgammon with paper, the paper output of the Dragon Tribe is not too high, and it can't be wasted at will, and playing backgammon will waste a lot of paper.

However, there is another way to play backgammon, which is to use the board of Go and add pieces, and one board and two small piles of pieces can be reused.

Backgammon is a good form of entertainment, adults play as a way to pass the time, and children can also exercise their minds.

The chessboard and chess pieces are not troublesome to make, on the first day Su Yan handed over the task to the carpenter, and the next morning, Su Yan retrieved the chessboard and two small piles of chess pieces, the chess pieces were polished, and half of the chess pieces were still blackened with ink.

Entering the room, Su Yan put the chessboard and chess pieces on the wooden table.

Seeing Su Yan returning, Xiaoyue handed over the child in her arms to her sister, and couldn't wait to come over to see the novelty that her husband had made.

Xiaohua was also very curious, holding a child in one hand and walking over slowly.

In winter, when the weather is cold, the doors and windows are closed, and an oil lamp is lit in the room, and the oil lamp emits a faint light to bring some light to the room.

"Sit down first, one oil lamp is a little dim, I'll go light another one." Su Yan said.

"Uh-huh." Satsuki sat on a wooden chair covered with animal skin cushions, her eyes resting on the chessboard on the wooden table, and her mind wondered how to use these things.

Xiaohua walked over first, holding the two children and sitting on another chair, the two children "babbling", their little hands and feet moving back and forth.

Soon, Su Yan came over with an oil lamp and two small bowls.

There were two oil lamps on the wooden table, and the light around the table increased, so that at least you could see the game of chess.

Two oil lamps, it's really a luxury, the clansmen have oil lamps in their homes, but most of the time the clansmen don't use oil lamps, the oil from the oil lamps is edible oil, used for eating, the dragon tribe's vegetable oil production can not meet the people's lighting needs every night, that is, Su Yan and the patriarchs have the privilege to use oil lamps at will.

The chessboard was placed, and Su Yan put two small piles of chess pieces into two pottery bowls.

Looking at the curious eyes of the two sisters, Su Yan grabbed a few chess pieces with both hands and placed them on the chessboard, and said to the two sisters: "Teach you to play chess, the gameplay is very simple, but it is very interesting, you see, whoever first connects his chess pieces vertically, horizontally or diagonally into a straight line in a row, who is the winner." ”

While explaining, Su Yan's left and right hands played a game of chess, and the interesting thing is that in the end, it was not a draw, but a victory with the right hand.

Xiao Yue knows a little bit about the rules, and can't wait to get ready to play, you step by step, Xiao Yue, as a novice, Su Yan has always asked Xiao Yue to play chess in the way of explanation, and even allowed Xiao Yue to regret chess, after playing a few games of chess, Xiao Yue's understanding of backgammon has gradually deepened.

"Husband, I want to try it too." These were Xiaohua's words, and Su Yan nodded in agreement.

Su Yan and Xiaohua changed positions, and the two children were also handed over to Su Yan.

"Sister, come on, I'll teach you.!" Satsuki said with a smile.

"No, I'll just take a look." Floret shook her head.

Backgammon is indeed very simple and easy to play, and Su Yan also learned it by watching it from the sidelines.

Although backgammon is simple, the biggest feature of backgammon is that it is not tired of playing.

"Okay, sister, I'm going to be serious."

"Come on."

Sister first, two sisters, you take one step at a time, and I am one step at a time, and I frequently fall behind.

Xiao Yue: "Hey, it's going to be done here, block it." ”

Xiaohua: "It's not good, hurry up and block this place." ”

In the first game, Satsuki won, and in the second game, Satsuki won, but in the third game, Satsuki turned the tables and won.

Watching the two sisters kill all sides on the chessboard, Su Yan felt very interesting, and the simple backgammon actually made the two sisters play Go.

seems to feel that their chess skills have improved greatly, and the two sisters want to challenge Su Yan, and then they are severely suppressed by Su Yan, but Su Yan occasionally misses and allows the two sisters to win one or two games.

Such an interesting entertainment activity, Su Yan spread directly in the source city, first asked the carpenter to create a few more chessboard pieces, and then taught the gameplay of backgammon, soon, many clansmen liked backgammon, the juvenile clansmen were the most, followed by the young clansmen, and the middle-aged clansmen were relatively few.

Since the chessboard is still relatively small, when two people play chess, they will attract several onlookers, and ordinary people will hardly light oil lamps in their homes, so everyone can only crowd around the stove and play chess through the light emitted by the burning wood in the stove.

The two play chess, the onlookers point fingers, and then the chess players drive the onlookers away.

The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and if they are all instructed by bystanders, then what is the point of playing chess.

However, the more you watch the chess, the more interesting it becomes, and you can only hope that the carpenters will make more chessboard pieces, so that they can get a copy and play in person.

Another pattern also appeared when there were few chessboards, where many clansmen shared a chessboard, and two people played chess first, and the loser gave way to a position, and the winner could continue to occupy a position.

In order to meet the needs of the clansmen, most of the carpenters put down their research work and turned to making chessboard pieces, fortunately, the chessboard pieces are relatively simple to make, and the carpenters and apprentices worked together to produce a large number of chessboard pieces in just a few days, which met the needs of almost all the clansmen, and every three to four clansmen who wanted to play chess could have a chessboard.

Carpenters and apprentices continue to make chessboard pieces, at least enough for every two people to have a chessboard.

Of course, playing backgammon is only an activity of the clansmen in the snow or at night, if the weather is fine, the clansmen want to move their bodies in the outside world, and the people of the hunting team and the reserve team will go out to hunt, playing backgammon is interesting, and it can pass the time, but how can it be compared with the excitement of hunting.

Even the children put down their chessboards in fine weather and ran to the snow with their friends to play, have snowball fights, fight, build snowmen, and have a lot of fun.
