Set Up:

• The game board consists of 24 narrow triangles or points, grouped into four quadrants of six points each.
• Each player starts with 15 checkers of a designated color. These checkers are initially arranged as follows: two on the 24-point, five on the 13-point, three on the 8-point, and five on the 6-point.
• The players also each have two six-sided dice and a doubling cube.

 Movement: 

• Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their checkers according to the numbers rolled. The numbers on the dice represent the number of points a player can move their checkers.Checkers can be moved forward to an open point, or to a point occupied by their own checkers. They can also "hit" an opponent's blot (a single checker on a point) to send it to the bar, where it must re-enter the board on the opponent's side.

   Entering From The Bar:

     

• When a player has one or more checkers on the bar, their first obligation is to enter those checkers into the opponent's home board. 
•  The numbers rolled on the dice indicate the point on the opponent's home board where the checker can re-enter.

Bearing Off:

• Once a player has moved all their checkers into their home board, they can start bearing them off.
• The player must roll the exact number needed to bear off a checker from the highest occupied point in their home board.
• If a player rolls a number higher than the point where they have a checker, they must bear off a lower-numbered checker if possible.

Hitting & Blocking:

• If a player lands on a point occupied by a single opponent's checker (a blot), the opponent's checker is hit and placed on the bar.
• A player can strategically block points in the opponent's home board to make it more difficult for them to bear off their checkers.

Doubling Cube:

   

• Players can offer to "double" the stakes of the game by turning the doubling cube to the next higher number.
• The opponent can either accept the double and continue the game at the higher stakes or decline and forfeit the current game.

Winning:

   

• The first player to bear off all their checkers wins the game.
• If the game is played with the doubling cube, the winner receives the value shown on the doubling cube multiplied by the current stakes of the game.

Backgammon combines skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, making it a popular and dynamic game that has been enjoyed for centuries.
