Best Free Backgammon
Roll the dice and race all fifteen checkers home against the computer — full rules, hitting, the bar and bear-off.
How to play
- Roll and move. Each roll lets you move checkers toward your home board; click a checker, then a highlighted point.
- Hit and re-enter. Land on a single enemy checker to send it to the bar — a checker on the bar must re-enter before any other move.
- Bear off to win. Once all fifteen checkers are in your home board, bear them off. The first player to bear off all fifteen wins.
About Backgammon
Backgammon is one of the oldest board games in the world — a race to bring all fifteen of your checkers around the board and bear them off before your opponent does. Roll the dice and move your checkers toward your home board; the game enforces the rules for you, so you can only make legal moves. Land on a lone enemy checker to send it to the bar, where it must re-enter before anything else can move. Roll doubles and you get four moves instead of two. Once all your checkers reach your home board you can start bearing them off — first to bear off all fifteen wins. The computer plays a greedy strategy, preferring to hit blots, make points and bear off. No signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
