HOW TO PLAY

How to play Backgammon

Play a local two-player game of backgammon. Roll two dice, move checkers toward your home board, hit single opposing checkers, re-enter from the bar, then bear off all fifteen to win. Doubles provide four moves; the game enforces legal moves and the maximum playable dice. This version has no doubling cube or match scoring.

Controls

  • Roll to begin; select one of your checkers or the bar
  • Choose a highlighted destination to make a move
  • Reset starts a new game; buttons work with Tab and Enter or Space

Tips

  1. Two opposing checkers block a point; a lone checker can be hit.
  2. Enter checkers from the bar before moving others, and bring all checkers home before bearing off.
