Octopussy’s backgammon a nod to Goldfinger’s gin
Bond’s quick backgammon game with Kamal Khan in Octopussy reminds me of the game of gin where Bond manipulates Goldfinger’s play. A simple, non-traditional game that Bond is shoehorned into playing/participating. As for other card games – I’m pretty sure Bond plays solitaire (no, not the Live And Let Die… Read More →
