Book excerpt: Backgammon is a fun, strategic game played by two players. Be the first player to remove all your checkers from the board to win this game. Backgammon is easy to learn but takes time to master.The object of Backgammon is to move your checkers around the board by rolling dice. The number rolled equals the number of points a checker can move. First, move all your checkers to your home board. Second, move all your checkers off the board.The game begins with each player rolling one die. The player with the higher number rolled gets to use both dice for the first move. Each dice is moved separately and can be moved forward to any point that is not blocked. When your opponent has two or more checkers on a point, that point is blocked. If the point has your own checkers, no checkers, or only one opponent checker, the point is open.When both dice are rolled with the same number, the player will move double. For example, if double threes are rolled, the player will move three points four times.When a player moves a checker onto a point that only has one opponent checker, the opponent's checker is placed on the middle bar. Any checker on the middle bar has to be returned into play before making any other moves. A checker returns to the board on your farthest point. (i.e., the 24th point).Get your copy today by scrolling up and clicking Buy Now to get your copy today

Download or read book Backgammon for Beginners written by Katet Anson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Backgammon is considered to be among the most ancient board games in existence, with its origins dating back over 5,000 years. It is a two-player game in which fate and strategy play a combined role. The game is conducted on a board comprising twenty-four points, which are narrow triangles of alternating coloration and are arranged in four quadrants of six triangles each. The horseshoe-shaped points are numbered from one to twenty-four, with the twenty-fourth point being the most distant from each participant. The goal of the game is to advance all of your pieces (checkers) in a horseshoe-shaped formation across the board and eliminate them before your opponent does the same. 15 checkers of the opposing color-typically white and black or another contrasting pair-are dealt to each player. In order to ascertain the movement of their checkers, players cast two dice. The extent of a player's checker movement across the board is determined by the outcomes of the dice rolls. In order to achieve this, players are required to manoeuvre their checkers strategically across the board, taking them off in their home quadrant. They may also obstruct or strike the checkers of their opponent, which would cause them to be transferred to the bar, an area distinct from the main board where hit checkers are positioned. Re-entry of checkers onto the bar is a prerequisite for the execution of any subsequent movements. The game of backgammon requires the application of strategy, probability, and talent. In order to achieve victory, players are required to employ their knowledge of probabilities, the current board position, and the outcomes of dice rolls when formulating strategies to outmanoeuvre their adversaries and destroy all of their checkers first.
