Backgammon

The dice decide how far. You decide which checker goes.

How to play

The dice are thrown for you as your turn begins, and then you move. On one screen, and against the computer when you move first, the game's first throw waits for Roll Dice. Select one of your checkers and the points it can reach are marked; select one of those to move it. A point with two or more of the other player's checkers is closed. Landing on a lone checker sends it to the bar, and it has to come back in before they move anything else.

Once all fifteen of your checkers are in your home board the bear-off button appears, and the first player to bear all fifteen off wins. You can leave at any time, which gives the other player the win. In a room by link, chat is always on at the board, and voice only if the host switched it on when they made the room.
