How to play Backgammon
Start Backgammon in your browser at YSSDYY. Bear off all fifteen pieces before the opponent. The page pairs the game with careful restarts, an example and answers about this edition.
Local two players; no doubling cube, stakes or remote matching.
Careful restarts
Start a fresh round when you want another attempt. Restarting may discard current progress; read the controls rather than assuming an account backup exists.
Your goal
Bear off all fifteen pieces before the opponent.
Step by step
- Roll and use the maximum legal number of dice; doubles give four moves.
- Enter barred pieces first.
- Points with at least two enemies are blocked; a lone enemy is hit.
- Bear off only after all pieces reach home.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback.
A useful example
When only one die can be used and either is individually playable, use the larger die.
Watch out for this
An oversized bear-off requires no piece farther from the exit.
