Avi Ella Presents his Backgammon Art



Games

The "Shesh Besh" (Backgammon) is a strategic game, a struggle between two rivals, which essentially symbolizes the actual geopolitical situation of Israel versus its Arab neighbors.
 
On one part a competitive game between neighbors, friends, on the other part a war game between enemies.
 
After 60 years, which game are there playing?
