you win before your opponent has all men out of his starting board

The playing piece of the game Backgammon is called a 'pip', a 'checker', a 'man' or a 'stone'.

Over approximately 150 million Scrabble sets have been made worldwide.

The object of Backgammon is to move your game pieces from the starting point to your opponent's starting point, and then remove them from the board. So, it is a race around the board, basically. If you leave one of your pieces exposed, it can be placed in the middle of the board, and you have to roll to get it back from there before continuing with other pieces. Additionally, it returns to the starting area, losing any progress it had made previously.

There are 24 points on a backgammon board. Backgammon is a two-player board game. Players take turns rolling a pair of dice, moving their pieces around the board. Backgammon is one of the oldest table games in the world.

Excavations at Shahr-e Sukhteh (Persian شهر سوخته, literally "The Burnt City") in Iran have shown that the game existed there around 3000 BC. The artifacts include two dice and 60 checkers, and the set is believed to be 100 to 200 years older than the sets found in Ur. On the board found at Shahr-e Sukhteh the fields are fashioned by the coils of a snake.

Many say backgammon originated in Mesopotamia in the Persian Empire, which today is Iran, Iraq and Syria. Some say the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans played a form of backgammon probably derived from the earlier Indian game of Parcheesi. The Chinese believe that the game of Nard was invented in Western India and was used in China in mid 200s AD.

right now it is unknown, but some people are saying it started in Iran while others say it started in Egypt while still others say it started in ancient Mesopotamia

Chess is commonly believed to have originated in India during the Gupta empire,[15][16][17][18] where its early form in the 6th century was known as caturaṅga, which translates as "four divisions [of the military]" - infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively. Both the Persians and Arabs attribute the game of chess to the Indians.[19] In Sassanid Persia around 600 the name became shatranj and the rules were developed further. Shatranj was taken up by the Muslim world after the Islamic conquest of Persia, with the pieces largely retaining their Persian names. In Spanish "shatranj" was rendered as ajedrez, in Portuguese as xadrez, and in Greek as zatrikion, but in the rest of Europe it was replaced by versions of the Persian shāh ("king"), which was familiar as an exclamation and became our words "check and chess".[20] Murray theorized that this change happened from Muslim traders coming to European seaports with ornamental chess kings as curios before they brought the game of chess.[18] Knights Templar playing chess, Libro de los juegos, 1283. The game reached Western Europe and Russia by at least three routes, the earliest being in the 9th century. By the year 1000 it had spread throughout Europe.[21] Introduced into the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors in the 10th century, it was described in a famous 13th-century manuscript covering shatranj, backgammon, and dice named the Libro de los juegos. Another theory contends that chess arose from the game xiangqi (Chinese Chess) or one of its predecessors.[22]

The exact number isn't known, of course, because in addition to those registered with official provincial, state, & national federations, many people such as myself play hockey for fun on local rinks all the time. I would suggest you go to the official international website at www.IIHF.com and check the list of nations where hockey is played. There they will tell you at least how many players are registered with each national federation.
