ABOUT THE GAME

About Backgammon

Play a classic Backgammon game against a computer opponent at three settings or another person on the same device. The build enforces bar entry, blocked points, hits, mandatory dice use, doubles and bearing off. Wins score as single, gammon or backgammon. This is a single game ruleset without a doubling cube or match series.

How to play

Choose a computer opponent or local two-player mode. Roll the dice, select a checker and then a legal destination. If you have checkers on the bar, re-enter them before moving others. Bring all your checkers home and bear them off before your opponent.

Rules in this version

  • White moves from point 24 to 1 and Black from 1 to 24; opening rolls decide who starts.
  • Enter checkers from the bar before moving elsewhere; a point with two or more opposing checkers is blocked.
  • Use both dice when a legal sequence exists. If only one die can be played and either could be used, use the higher die. Doubles give four moves. The game ends when a player bears off every checker.

Tips for playing

  • Before leaving a single checker exposed, consider whether the opponent can hit it on the next roll.
