Backgammon Game

Backgammon is one of the world's oldest games. It is a classic board game for two players. The backgammon board consists of 24 alternating color triangle stripes or points. Each player has 15 pieces or checkers of a single color, light or dark.

The object of the game is to get all your pieces to the other side and off the board before the other player does. Play begins by rolling the dice and the player with the highest number goes first.

There is luck involved but strategy also plays a large part in the game. Rolling doubles and bumping your opponent's pieces as well as keeping your pieces safe is what makes the game fun and exciting to play.
