How to Play Backgammon
Objective: Move all your checkers around the board and bear them off before your opponent.
Rules:
- 24 triangles (points) on the board. White moves clockwise, Black counter-clockwise.
- Roll two dice each turn. Move checkers by the numbers shown.
- You can move to an empty point, your own checkers, or a point with one opponent (blot).
- Landing on a blot sends it to the bar. That checker must re-enter before moving others.
- When all checkers are in your home board, you start bearing off.
- First to bear off all 15 checkers wins.
