Backgammon
Backgammon is a board game that combines strategy, skill and luck.
The
game must be played between 2 players using a board divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant
consists of 6 triangular points. You need to take turns rolling 2 dice and moving the checkers
accordingly. The dice roll will show the number of points a player can move the checkers. The
numbers on the two dice represent different moves. When players roll doubles, they play the
numbers shown on the dice twice.
The game's objective is to move all your checkers into
your home board and then bear them off. The first player who manages to bear off all their
checkers wins the game. A point occupied by a single checker of either color is a blot. If an
opposing checker arrives on a blot, the blot will be placed on the bar. When there is one or
more checkers on the bar from a player, the first thing is to enter those checkers into the
opposing home board. Rolling a 5 permits the player to remove a checker from the five
points.
There is the possibility to block the opponent's checkers and create defensive
positions to protect your own checkers. Luck is one important element that you must use and
adapt the strategy and moves. If you like competition games, the Backgammon board game is the
best way to train your brain and win.
