Backgammon
The timeless dice-and-strategy duel.
How to play
- Each player has 15 checkers and moves them around the board toward home, in opposite directions.
- Roll two dice on your turn and move checkers by the values shown — doubles let you play each value twice.
- Land two or more checkers on a point to make it yours; a lone checker (a blot) can be hit and sent to the bar.
- Bear all your checkers off your home board before your opponent to win.
