About Backgammon
The Backgammon game is a strategic board game combining luck and acquired skill.
It is known as the oldest recorded game in history. It is played by two players moving light and dark stones called checkers on the board.
The object of backgammon is for you to bring all the checkers to 'your side' and than be the first to clear them off the board.
Backgammon is played on a board divided into four quarters.
There are 24 long triangles drawn on the board - known as "points", 6 triangles in each quarter.
The game begins when 30 checkers (15 lights and 15 darks) are placed on the 24 triangles in a fixed order.
All points on a backgammon board are distinguished by numbers.
