Object Of Backgammon

Each player must move his pieces according to the numbers shown on the throw of two simulated dice, and players move their pieces in opposite directions. The blue pieces move in a Clockwise direction. The white pieces move in a Counter-Clockwise direction. The winner is the first player to move all of his pieces off of the board.

Players wager points on the outcome of the game by using a doubling cube. The winner of the game is awarded the number of points showing on the doubling cube when the game ends (if the winner scores a Gammon or Backgammon he is awarded double or triple the value of the doubling cube). The losing player loses an equal number of points.

The first player to reach a specific number of points (determined by the Sysop) will have his/her name added to the “Hall of Fame”.
