The Backgammon is a board game like Checkers and Check but with different rules. You must be asking yourself what kind of game it is, is it an easy game or a difficult one? Where is the starting point, how to move with the “soldiers”?

The first thing you need to do is to place all soldiers on the board in the following way: 2 soldiers on the top right side, which is also your rival’s territory, 5 soldiers on the top left/right depends on which side you sit – called also the outer side, 3 soldiers on your rival’s side, pointing on the fifth line and 5 more on your side close to the edge. Your opponent then set the soldiers the same way like you did, opposite to yours.

Once you learn the backgammon game rules, you’re ready to play backgammon online and see what the game is all about.
