How to Play Backgammon
- Backgammon is played by two players, each moving checkers around a 24-point board.
- Players take turns rolling dice and moving their checkers. The first player to bear off all 15 checkers wins the round.
- Record the round score for each player. A normal win scores 1 point, a gammon (opponent bore off none) is worth 2 points, and a backgammon (opponent still has checkers on the bar or in home board) is worth 3 points. These values are multiplied by the doubling cube (1, 2, 4, 8, etc.).
- The doubling cube starts at 1 and can be doubled to 2, 4, 8, 16 and beyond. The final score of a round is multiplied by the cube value. Use it strategically to increase stakes when you have a positional advantage.
- The player with the highest cumulative score after all rounds wins the match.
Tips & Strategy for playing Backgammon
- Establish an advanced barrier of checkers to restrict your opponent while you safely bring home your back-runners.
- Hit split blots when possible to disrupt your opponent's timing and bear-off progress.
- Double when you have a strong positional advantage, but avoid doubling too early when the game could still swing.
- Race your back checker home before getting caught in a blocking game — timing is everything.
