Classic Backgammon

🎮 How to Play

Classic Backgammon is a strategic race to move all your checkers off the board before your opponent. Players take turns rolling two dice, then move their checkers forward based on the numbers rolled. You can land on empty spaces or your own checkers, but only one opponent checker can be "hit" and sent to the bar. Hit checkers must re-enter before other moves. The first to "bear off" (remove) all 15 checkers wins! Master the doubling cube for higher stakes and outmaneuver your rival with smart positioning.

🕹️ Controls

• Mouse (Desktop): Click and drag checkers to move them. Click the dice to roll.
• Touchscreen (Mobile): Tap and drag checkers; tap dice to roll.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Use arrow keys to navigate and Enter to confirm moves (if supported).
• Game Menu: Access settings, undo moves, or resign via the on-screen menu.

🎯 Objectives

Your goal is to move all 15 checkers around the board and bear them off first. Short-term, focus on creating "anchors" (safe points) and hitting opponent blots (single checkers). Long-term, balance offense and defense while controlling the board’s tempo. Use the doubling cube wisely to maximize points in competitive matches. Victory requires both luck and strategy—anticipate your opponent’s moves and adapt your plan!

💡 Pro Tips

• 🎪 Build a Prime: Create a wall of 6 consecutive points to block your opponent’s checkers.
• ⚡ Prioritize Safety: Avoid leaving single checkers (blots) vulnerable to hits.
• 💰 Double Strategically: Offer the doubling cube when you’re ahead but before luck can shift.
• 🏆 Bear Off Smartly: Remove checkers from higher-numbered points first to avoid wasted moves.
• 🎲 Diversify Moves: Use both dice efficiently—don’t waste big numbers on small advances!

With these tips and a sharp eye for tactics, you’ll dominate the board and savor the thrill of Classic Backgammon! 🏁
