How is Backgammon played?
The game starts by each player throwing a single die, highest goes first. Checkers are moved around the board in a U-shape to your home board. The numbers on each die represents the number of moves you can make, rolling a double allows to you to make double the amount of moves. You must always move in a forward direction and checkers may only be moved to an open point. When on the bar you must enter your checker(s) back to the board before making any moves (this includes bearing off). If there are no open points, you forfeit your turn. When all fifteen of your checkers are in your home board you commence bearing off. You bear off your checkers by rolling a number that corresponds to the point that the checker is sitting on. Bearing off is only permitted when you have all of your checkers in your home board. The first player to bear off all fifteen checkers wins the game.
