How to play?

To start backgammon you must first roll one die together with a second player. This determines which of you moves first and which numbers one of you uses for his first move. If you get the same numbers, you keep rolling the dice until you get different values. If you roll a higher number, you move your checkers to match the numbers on both dice. After the first move you and your friend take turns rolling two dice and making your moves. Remember that the checkers always move in one direction only. From points with larger numbers to points with smaller numbers. For White - counter-clockwise, and for Black - clockwise. The following rules are applied: a checker can move only to an open point, i.e. to the point that is not occupied by two or more checkers of the opposite color. The winner of the game is the one who brought all his pieces to the house and removed them from the board first until the second player does it. We wish in a backgammon game you to be the first to do it! Good luck!
