Backgammonia is an online version of backgammon, one of the oldest board games in the world. It mixes the luck of the dice with real strategy, which is why players have enjoyed it for thousands of years. If you know the game, jump right in. If not, it is easy to learn here.
The checkers are placed on the board for you automatically. On your turn, roll both dice and move your checkers by the numbers you rolled. Your goal is to bring all of your checkers around the board into your home area and then remove them, before your opponent does the same. Your opponent will try to block your way. A point with two or more of their checkers is closed to you, while a single checker can be hit and sent back to the start. White moves first, the screen shows whose turn it is, and the game highlights where the checker you pick can go.
