How to play.

When new match is started the dice are rolled to determine first going player and the same dice are to be played by that player.

  • One-tap movement is turned OFF
    To make a movement first select a checker you want to move. The column will be highlighted. Then tap position where checker will be moved. If the correct position is tapped checker will move to a new position. Repeat until all possible dice values are played.
    To unselect the column tap it again.
  • One-tap movement is turned ON
    Tap a checker you want to move. It will be moved according rolled dice: left die first, then the right one. After each roll the dice are ordered, greater number is on left. Tapping the dice will swap them.

Tap "Done" on the dice to confirm or "Undo" to cancel move.
If Autoroll is disabled tap "Roll" to roll the dice when you have a turn.

If you have hit checker(s) on the bar, then you should first play hit checker(s).

To bear off a checker select it and tap bear-off area on the right side (for white checkers) as a target position.

Winner of the game will start the next one.

One of the rules of the Backgammon:
Both dice must be used whenever possible. If only one of the two can be used but not both, the larger must be played.
According to this rule sometimes the game will not allow you to make some moves and force to make others.
