Backgammon — How to play and useful tips
Race fifteen checkers home. Three CPU levels, a single game or a three-point match.
Controls
- Move by the dice and bear off all fifteen checkers to win a game.
- Landing on a lone opposing checker sends it to the bar. Re-enter your checkers from the bar before moving others.
Playing tips
- Use both dice if possible, otherwise the higher one when either could be used. Doubles give four moves.
