When the terms are so similar I don't think we get much mileage out of using them. Instead I prefer saying it the long way such as "I was playing a backgame" or "I was playing against a backgame".
Maybe it's just me because I'm not that bright but probably for others too but when I read backgamee or backgamer for eg I have to stop and think about what you mean. I wouldn't think it helps readers out. For personal use it's understandable if that's what you want. For the public I don't see it ever catching on and it comes off as more of a hindrance than an aide. Just my half cent.
