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.
