History of creation
Students at Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinema came up with the idea of a backgammon player statue under the supervision of Ruben Jaghinyan. The sculpture was created in bronze by Edward Shakhikian, and placed in an area where backgammon players are often found. The monument was opened on 4 November 2007, on Gevorg Kotchar Street next to Hrachya Ghaplanyan Drama Theatre.
