"Banana split" is a type of ice cream dessert. Typically, a banana is split lengthwise and topped with multiple flavors of ice cream such as vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, along with toppings like chocolate sauce, fruits, nuts, and whipped cream.

In the game of backgammon, breaking a point on the opponent's inner board and hitting a blot is referred to as a "banana split." This term adds a fun and descriptive element to the game, highlighting the strategy and skill involved in making such a move.

■Profile of the creator
I'm both a backgammon enthusiast and a dedicated handmade artist.

My journey with backgammon began in the late 2000s when I stumbled upon a backgammon board in a second-hand store. Over almost two decades, I've honed my skills. Still, I believe there's much room for improvement, and I continually strive to enhance my abilities.

Influenced by my wife, a ceramic artist, I've developed a passion for handmade crafts. Through her artist friends, I've been exposed to various artisans, enriching my understanding of creation. The birth of my son ignited my creative spark, leading me to delve into crafting backgammon boards and accessories. Collaborating with my teenage son, who has become a skilled backgammon player, on cube designs has injected new energy into my creations.
