About Backgammon
How Backgammon is played
Each player has fifteen checkers that travel around 24 triangular points in opposite directions. Roll two dice and move one checker by each number or one checker by both. A single enemy checker on a point — a blot — is hit when you land on it and must re-enter from the bar before that player can move anything else.
Once all your checkers are in your home board you bear them off according to the dice. The first to remove all fifteen wins. One of the oldest games in existence, it rewards probability judgement as much as luck.
