Backgammon Pro - Free Web Game
About the Game
Engage in a timeless game of backgammon against either a friend or the computer. Roll the dice to advance your pieces across the board. If you happen to roll doubles, you can move four of your pieces instead of merely two. Land on your opponent's lone piece, and it will be sent back to the start. Navigate around the board to remove your pieces from the game. The player who successfully removes all their pieces from the game first is the winner!
How to Play
The aim of backgammon is to move all your checkers into your home area and then completely remove them from the board before your opponent does.
Both players begin with 15 checkers placed around the board. Your "home" area is directly opposite your opponent's "home" area.
Each player takes turns rolling the dice. You advance your checkers across the board towards your home area according to the number shown on the dice.
You can only move your checkers to these types of positions:
Spaces with no other checkers present
Spaces occupied by your own checkers
Spaces occupied by your opponent with just a single checker
You cannot move checkers to spaces where your opponent has two or more checkers.
Capturing an opponent's checker
If you land on a space occupied by only one of your opponent's checkers, you capture it, and that checker will be removed from the board until it can re-enter on a subsequent dice roll, starting from the beginning of the board.
