Backgammon
How to Play
- Each player has 15 pieces, placed on specific starting points of the board.
- Roll two dice each turn to move your pieces clockwise around the board.
- You may split moves between two pieces (one for each die) or move one piece using the total.
- Land on an opponent’s single piece to “hit” it — sending it to the middle until re-entered.
- Gather all your pieces into your home board (last six spaces), then start “bearing off.”
- The first player to remove all 15 pieces from the board wins!
