Backgammon
Roll, race, and bear off your checkers before the computer.
How to play Backgammon
Roll the two dice and move your light checkers around the board toward your home, using each die as a separate move (doubles give four moves). Land alone on a point and you leave a "blot" the computer can hit, sending it to the bar to re-enter. Once all your checkers are home, bear them off — first to remove all fifteen wins.

Backgammon — frequently asked questions
How do moves work?
Each die is a separate move. Click a checker, then a highlighted point a die-value away. Doubles let you make four moves.
What is hitting a blot?
Landing on a point holding a single enemy checker sends it to the bar, where it must re-enter before that player can move anything else.
