How to Play
Backgammon is a two-player race game. Each player has 15 pieces and moves them around the board in opposite directions according to dice rolls. Move your pieces toward your home board; then bear them off. You can hit an opponent's single piece (blot) to send it to the bar; they must re-enter before moving elsewhere. Doubles let you play the number four times. The first to bear off all pieces wins. This version lets you play against the computer or a friend. The board and rules are standard; the game runs in the browser with no signup.
