Description

Backgammon is a classic logic game with dice. This fun and free edition gives you everything you need to play on your computer today. In the beginning, the informative tutorial mode will guide you through the basics of the game. You can compete against the computer in Backgammon or fight against your friends in a two-player mode. You can even change the board and checkers you play and keep track of the statistics.

It is impossible to describe dozens of varieties, both regional and international, of short and long “backgammon” – some experimenters and connoisseurs of the classic board “strategy” are ready to rewrite the rules at least every day. Therefore, when describing the rules, you will have to start from the concept of the classic short version:

  • Starting position – “head”. Hand chips – 15 pieces, placed on the left or right side of the board.
  • The key task is to move all white or black tokens into the house and then remove them from the board. Whoever is the first to figure out the set goal is awarded the victory.
  • Checkers move in an intricate way. Much depends on the type of Backgammon chosen and the current rules, but there is a 99% probability that the chips move in a circle in a fixed direction for each of the participants.
  • Then the bones come into play – depending on the number of points scored – and you will have to move. Alternatively, if there are 2 and 4 points on the dice, then one chip will have to be moved by 2 points, and the second by 4. Backgammon will not recognize intermediate values ​​or incomplete moves.
  • After each move, the dice are transferred to another player. And so on until the winner appears.

Despite the consistency of the basic rules, “Backgammon” is full of exceptions – and forbidden moves, and incompatibilities, and the inaccessibility of chips. It takes hours, days and weeks to figure out the details. Therefore, it is worth immediately launching standard matches with computer intelligence and starting training – someday, but it will become much easier to win!
