Short Backgammon for Two
About game
Short backgammon for two is a very popular board game all over the world. The game itself takes place on a game board divided into two halves. Each player has 15 chips of their own color (one player has black, the other white). Players take turns walking and throwing dice. The number on the dice shows the player how many points he needs to move. The player who throws away all the chips wins. In order to throw them out, you need to bring them all into the “house”.
How to play
Basic Rules: Players take turns, to do this they roll dice. The number rolled on the dice shows how many points you need to move. You can bet on a point that is not occupied by two or more enemy pieces. If a double is rolled, the moves are doubled. Chip lining: When a point is occupied by only the 1st chip, it is called a “blot”. The enemy may resemble a blot, i.e. knock out your chip from this point and occupy it with your chip. The knocked-out chip is placed on the bar. At any time when one or more checkers are on the bar, the player's first responsibility is to charge the checkers in the opponent's house. The checker comes into play by moving to the point corresponding to the rolled die value. For example, if a player rolls 4 and 6, he can load a checker into the fourth or sixth points, if they are not occupied by two or more enemy checkers. Tossing chips: When a player has brought all 15 chips into his house, he begins to throw them away from the board.Game info
