How to play
- Two players race 15 checkers each around the board and off it; everyone else watches. Or play it as two teams that take turns.
- Roll two dice and move by each number. Doubles count four times. Use both dice whenever you can (if only one fits, the bigger one).
- Land on a lone rival checker to hit it onto the bar. It has to come back in on your side before that player moves anything else.
- When all your checkers are in your home board, bear them off. Clear the board first to win the game.
- Win before your rival bears off a single checker for a gammon (2 points), or while they're still on the bar or in your home for a backgammon (3).
