Yerevan City is full of monument, museum, and statue. Backgammon is a Chess like interesting ancient game common among Turkish Persian and Caucasian. Armenian also like it. It's interesting for a tourists to see, sit beside and take a memorable photo with the monument and metallic statue of a Backgammon player, while roaming around the yerevan city. We like it

The monument is situated on the street, not far from Yeritasardakan Metro station. You can seat and have a picture with the backgammon player monument.

I won't call this a work of art but this sculpture is just fun to pass by and take a seat and "play" backgammon for a shot.

I like this kind of monuments where you can seat close, stand near, hold the hand.... This small monument is also very popular among locals because Backgammon game is itself very popular in Armenia. If you don`t know how to play it, the best idea is to visit this place and ask some locals to tell you the rules :)

Nice sculpture in a small square. Reassembles the image of Armenians in love with a game backgammon. You can take the other seat and take a picture pretending you are playing too.
