| HOW TO PLAY. The object of Backgammon is to move all your pieces around to the other side of the board before your opponent does the same with his pieces. In this computer Backgammon game, you control the black pieces and you have the first move. To begin, roll the dice by clicking on them. Your goal is to move all the black pieces from the top of the board counter-clockwise to the lower right. You can move one or two pieces based on what the dice show. |
CAPTURING. Slow down your opponent by capturing his pieces. If a single piece is left in a space, the opposing player has the opportunity to capture the piece and send it off the board.
To prevent this, try to time your moves so that there are always two or more of your pieces in a given slot. In other words, avoid stranding lone pieces.
If one of your pieces is captured, you can rescue the piece on the next turn and return it to the board. As a penalty, you don't get to move any of your pieces but you can retrieve the piece from the side of the board. The piece must be returned to the starting position in the upper right of the board.
