Fifteen checkers, seeded dice, race home and off. Play Backgammon with a friend over one link — no download or account.
How to play
- Seat 0 runs toward point 0 and seat 1 toward point 23; bearing off ends the race.
- Dice are mixed from the match seed, so a replay of a game rolls the same faces.
- A double hands you four moves of that face, not two.
- A step cannot land on a point holding two or more enemy checkers; a lone one is hit to the bar.
- Barred checkers must re-enter before anything else moves, and bearing off waits until every checker is home.
