Quick Introduction to Backgammon – basic rules

Backgammon is the most popular board game for 2 players. The board consists of 24 triangles with alternating colours – these are called points. The points are separated into four equal groups, known as Home and Outer boards. Every player has 15 checkers in predefined locations on the board and tries to move all of them safely to his home board. The main objective of the game is to move all checkers you own to your own home board and then bear them off. The first player do achieve that is declared a winner.

Points, that have only one checker on them are called Blots. When an opposing checker lands on a blot, the blot is “hit” and moved to the middle bar of the board. The player that has checkers on the board must return them to play before playing his other checkers. It is possible to have no possible moves – in this case the turn is ended and the opponent rolls the dice.
By default, every game yields 1 point per win. You can double the yield from the game by offering to “double” before you roll the dice. If your opponent accepts, the yield is doubled, if he declines, the current doubling cube value is assigned to you.
