How to learn to play backgammon
How I did it: Someone drunkenly taught it to me one night and I was able to retain the knowledge over to the next day when my friend and I played 10 games straight. I'm still working on nailing the strategy, but I love it. Good game, glad I FINALLY know how to play.
Lessons & tips: It's easier than you think. Watch two people play and have them explain as they go.
Resources: Articulate friends.
