Backgammon is a classic race game for two players. Choose to play as Light or Dark against the computer. Light moves from the top-left toward the bottom-right home board; Dark moves from the bottom-right toward the top-right home board.
Rolling: Click the Roll button to roll two dice at the start of your turn. If you roll doubles, you get four moves instead of two.
Moving: Click one of your pieces to select it, then click a highlighted destination point to move. A point is a valid destination if it is empty, has your own pieces, or has exactly one opponent piece (a "blot" you can hit).
The Bar: If one of your pieces is hit (captured), it goes to the bar. You must re-enter that piece before making any other moves. Re-enter by rolling a number that corresponds to an open point in the opponent's home board.
Bearing Off: Once all 15 of your pieces are in your home board (points 1–6), you can start bearing them off. Roll a number matching a point with your piece, or use a higher roll to bear off from the highest occupied point.
Dice rules: You must use both dice if possible. If only one die can be used, you must use the higher one. Doubles give four moves of that value.
Change difficulty at any time (takes effect on the next AI turn).
