Game Board

Backgammon is a 2 player game. The four quadrants of the Backgammon board are shown below.

The triangular-shaped spaces that the checkers occupy are known as "points".

Each player begins with 15 checkers, which are set up on a board as shown.

The numbers along the top and bottom of the board indicate the names of the different points.

Object of Game

The object in Backgammon is to be the 1st player to move all of his/her checkers off the board (see more in Endgame).

Before starting, players decide on the number of score points (1, 3, 5, 9). The first player to reach that agreed score points wins the game.
