Backgammon Online is a casual game adapted from the original board game for online players. This is a game of logic that allows you to play the classic and ancient board game of backgammon against other players worldwide. This game has been around for years, almost 5000 to be exact, and this classic title has all of the standard gameplay and rules.

How to Play Backgammon Online

Backgammon is an ancient game with modernized versions for online gameplay. Your board may be virtual, but the rules and goals are identical. The objective of backgammon is to move all your checkers into your home board and then remove them from the board completely before your opponent does.

The Backgammon Online board has been set up for you from the beginning. All you have to do is concentrate on strategy.

Each player has 15 checker pieces placed across the board. Your "home" board is directly opposite your opponent's "home" board. Keep your eye on this area; it is key to winning the game.

Each player rolls the dice on every turn. You move the checkers across the board to your home board based on the dice count. You can move one checker to the total of both dice or split the moves between two different checkers. If you roll doubles, stakes are raised as you get the double gameplay moves, meaning you can move one piece of the total of both dice multiplied by two, or you can move four different checkers, the total of one dice.

Move your checkers to open spots

Checkers can only be moved to the following spots:

  • Spots with no occupying checkers
  • Spots that your pieces currently occupy
  • Spots that are occupied by your opponent with only one checker

Checkers cannot be moved to spots where your opponent has two or more checkers.

Capturing your opponent's checker

If you move your checker to a spot where an opponent has only one checker, you capture your opponent's piece, and they will be removed from the board until they can get back in on a dice roll and begin at the beginning of the board again.

How to win the game

The first person to get all their checkers to the home board and remove each checker via dice rolls wins the game.
