The game board in Backgammon consists of four quadrants, divided into six fields. Each player receives 15 checkers, which are moved in opposite directions into home quadrants and borne off. It is possible to knock out individual checkers.

The object of the game is to bring one’s checkers into home as quickly as possible. Once all the checkers are there, they are borne off according to the numbers on the dice.

One special feature of Backgammon is the doubling cube for raising the stakes. The opponent can accept, re-double or pass, which means conceding the game.
