Backgammon is one of the most played board games because it unites the ability to make decisions, planning, and luck. Two people play this game using their checkers, which have to be moved based on the numbers thrown by a pair of dice. The key point is to get all of your checkers to your home board and remove them from there.

The player has to choose whether to move safely, block their opponent, or take a chance for more advantageous positions. Each dice throw provides new conditions in the game. Backgammon is a very attractive and entertaining game due to its simple rules and strategic character.

How to Play Backgammon

Roll the dice and move the checkers by the displayed numbers. If there is just one checker, it may get knocked back to the bar, so make sure that your points consist of at least two checkers. Move all the checkers to the home board for bear off. Remember your aim: bear off all the checkers without allowing the opponent to do this first and leave no loose blots for him/her to strike; avoid rushed entry due to a cluttered screen, since a short moment to check the new beginning will gain you the game.
