Backgammon is a classic two-player strategy game played on a board with 24 triangles called points. The objective of the game is to move all of your checkers around the board and off the edge before your opponent can do the same. To set up the game, you will need a backgammon board and 30 checkers, 15 of each color.
To begin, each player places two checkers on their 24-point, five checkers on their 13-point, three checkers on their 8-point, and five checkers on their 6-point. The remaining two checkers are placed on the bar, which is the area in the middle of the board. Players then take turns rolling two dice and moving their checkers around the board according to the numbers rolled.
