Hey, you, low-stakes gambler and ancient-board-game aficionado. A $10 buy-in puts you in the running to make 90 percent of an optional side pool (in addition to other prize money) if you're the highest placed entrant at one of the backgammon events sponsored by the
Kansas City Backgammon Club. The five-year-old group rolls the dice every first and third Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Lew's Grill & Bar (7539 Wornall Road, 816-444-8080). For more information, see
