Click "Roll dice", then click your checker (or the bar) and tap a destination point. Use both dice when possible — if only one can be used, the larger one is mandatory.
Backgammon is the classic race game of dice and strategy — one of the oldest board games still played. You and the computer each have fifteen checkers running in opposite directions around the board; the first to bring all fifteen home and bear them off wins. This free browser version offers three difficulty levels, no downloads, no signup. New to backgammon? Switch on Tutorial mode and it highlights the move it recommends after every roll, with a one-line reason.
How do I play Backgammon? Roll the dice and move your checkers around the board toward your home, hitting your opponent's exposed checkers and making points to block them. Once all your checkers are home, bear them off — first to clear all fifteen wins.
Is Backgammon luck or skill? Both. The dice add chance to every turn, but over a game the stronger player consistently makes better use of each roll — which is why skill wins out in the long run.
Is there a tutorial? Yes — switch on Tutorial mode under the board. After each roll it highlights the checker move it recommends and gives a one-line reason — hits, points, bar entries, bear-offs.
Is Backgammon free here? Yes — no signup, no downloads, no installs.
