Backgammon - free backgammon game

Jeu de société gratuit en ligne

Backgammon is a game for two players. There is some luck involved (from rolling dices) but it is usually played in a series of games, and in the end the player that displays superior skill and tactics will win the series by choosing the best moves and by anticipating the opponent’s countermoves.

The Backgammon board:

The Backgammon board has 24 long triangles, called “points” (12 on each side in red/white). The points are numbered from 1 to 24.

Backgammon rules

• The game begins with each player rolling one dice. The player with the higher number rolled gets to use both dices for the first move.

• Each checker is moved separately and can be moved to any point that is not BLOCKED.

• When your opponent has two or more checkers on a point, then that point is blocked. (If the point has your own checkers, no checkers, or only one opponent checker, then that point is not blocked, or open.)

• A player who rolls two of a kind (both dices show the same number) gets to move double the numbers on the dices.

• When moving the same checker with both dice numbers, the intermediate points must be open (not blocked). For example: if you roll a 3 and a 4, you can only move your checker 7 points if point 3 and 4 is not blocked.

• A player who moves his checker to a point occupied by only one of the opponent’s checkers (called a “blot”), can “hit” (take) the opponent’s checker and place it on the bar in the middle of the board. When this happens, the opponent is required to return that checker into the game before making any other moves. The checker must be entered back into the game via his/her point 24. If the checker is blocked from being returned into the game, no moves can be made, and the turn goes back to the other player.

How to win the Backgammon game

The objective of the game is to move your pieces (small discs often called “checkers” or “chips”) around the board in the direction of the arrows shown in the illustration below, from the 24-point triangle to the 1-point triangle, and then off the board completely (remove them). The first player to move all his/her checkers off the board, is the winner of the game.
