A major split ignited a wild recent backgammon turf war in a trendy Big Apple neighborhood.

The dicey board battle pitting an insurgent group of players in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, against the city’s established club centered around the ancient game sprouted in July — and took on a life of its own.

The rogue Greenpoint Backgammon Club began defiantly hosting regular weekly “no snobs, no fees, no bulls–t” game nights after its members split from the much more polished NYC Backgammon Club, which includes a $10 pay-for-play rule.

“We just open a board, and whoever wants to play can play,” said one of the founding Greenpoint members to The Post, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the bad blood around the schism.

“It would be so insane for me to ask you for money to do that. Can you imagine?”

But Remington Davenport, a California transplant who made the NYC Backgammon Club so popular, she was able to ditch her sales job to run the club full-time, downplayed the “beef” — and extended an olive branch to the insurgent group after The Post started asking around.

The gammon drama erupted over the summer when people showed up at the hip Scrappeland bar on Manhattan Avenue for an evening of play, only to find that the meet-up had been canceled without warning because of low turnout.

The bar was one of many sites where NYC Backgammon Club had been hosting weekly game nights. Players would pay $10 for unlimited play, a cost that doesn’t go toward any food or drink vouchers or board rentals. Players are even asked to bring their own boards.

Since the small group of wannabe players had already arrived that night with their boards in hand, they decided to still play — without the $10 fee. They then continued their free weekly game nights locally outside of the structured club because they all live in the trendy nabe.

But when Davenport caught wind of the unsanctioned chapter, which had grown to 20 players, she tried to get it shut down, a player claimed.

“She wanted to control it. She wanted to approve any messaging before it went out,” the player said.

Davenport allegedly sent a series of messages telling the players they weren’t allowed to form a spinoff on her “territory” without paying her, effectively trying to absorb the Greenpoint Backgammon Club into her “ambassador” program, members of the offshoot said.

“Ambassadors” run smaller recurring game nights on behalf of NYC Backgammon Club with the same $10 admission, although they are not paid for hosting, an ambassador told The Post.

“The whole moral of the story is: It’s not like anyone had t-shirts or hats or club signs,” said a Greenpoint Backgammon member of their group’s spin-off. “No one ever swore loyalty to one group or another.

“It was just people who were looking to organize and play.”

But Davenport said she has since “squashed the beef” between the warring groups — but only after she was ripped on social media over her “bogus business model.”

She said she made a gesture of peace toward the Greenpoint group through Instagram’s direct messaging more than a week ago.

“I told them, ‘I fully support you guys. I will send people to your club.’ No biggie. I don’t want any trouble or drama,” Davenport said.

“They’re doing their own thing, and that’s fine.”

She admitted there had been friction between the two groups, but that from her end, it was fueled by her own personal life hardships and that she was only “mad for a day.”

The backgammon titan previously told The Post the mission for the club was to foster community in real life and offline.

“They’re just looking for new opportunities to have an experience and to meet friends, so that’s been super successful,” Davenport said, adding that numerous couples have met and even gotten married after meeting at her club.

Davenport said she started NYC Backgammon shortly after moving to the Big Apple in April 2023, upon which she quickly realized the majority of public games were limited to “very old white men.”

Since then, Davenport has helped to launch “Girls who Gammon” and “Gays who Gammon,” clubs that aim to create safe spaces for minorities not typically included in backgammon games, she said.

“It’s truly a community,” Davenport said.

“Backgammon is still so niche, so people are just looking to connect.”
