==== Games of parallel movement ==== Like other members of the tables family, games in this last group are often mistaken for Backgammon or assumed to be its variants, yet the direction of movement and hence play is quite different. Players move in the same direction around the board and that direction is always anticlockwise. The group includes the old German games of Langer Puff (known confusingly in English as German or Russian Backgammon) and Buffa, the Italian game of Buffa Cortese, the Spanish games of [[Laquet]] and Pareia de Entrada, the continental game of [[Verquere]], French [[Jacquet]], Turkish Moultezim and a curious Icelandic game called Chase the Girls.
