Backgammon, free to play

One of the oldest board games in the world. Roll the dice, race your checkers home and bear them off first.

How to play

Roll and move
Roll the dice, then move checkers by the numbers shown. You are red and move from the top right round to the bottom right. Tap a checker, then tap where it goes.
Hit and block
You cannot land on a point where the computer has two or more checkers. A single checker is a blot: land on it and it goes to the bar, and must come back in before anything else moves.
Bear off to win
Once all fifteen of your checkers are in your home board (the bottom right), take them off with exact numbers. First to bear off all fifteen wins.

Quick answers about playing Backgammon on Wittlo.

You play the number four times.
