How to play backgammon
A step by step guide:
1. Set up the backgammon board. 2. Sit opposite your opponent with the board between you two. 3. Throw a single die to determine who will get to move first. Roll again if both players get the same number. 4. Move first according to the roll of the dice if you rolled the higher number, but keep in mind that you must use both dice to determine your first move. 5. Number points 1 through 24 starting with the point on the upper right hand corner farthest away from you. 6. Move in a counterclockwise direction, and notice your opponent moving counterclockwise also. 7. Move onto open points only, you aren't allowed to move onto points with two or more opposing checkers. 8. Move all the pips shown on the dice. Play the larger number if you can only use one of the two numbers or as many of the doubles. 9. Place your opponent's checker on the bar when you hit a blot. 10. Commence bearing off when you've moved all of your checkers into your home board.
