Race your checkers around the board

Backgammon is a classic strategy game for two players. Roll two dice and move your checkers around the board toward your home board. A single opposing checker on a point is a blot: land there to hit it and send it to the bar. Your opponent must re-enter bar checkers before moving others.

How to play

1. Choose vs Computer or 2 Players.
2. Roll the dice, select one of your highlighted checkers, then choose a highlighted destination.
3. Use both dice when possible. Doubles give you four moves.
4. Move all 15 of your checkers into your home board, then bear them off.
5. The first player to bear off all their checkers wins.

Points with two or more opposing checkers are blocked. The game marks legal moves and highlights blots you can hit.
