If you are on the bar you must re-enter first, and if every entry point is blocked your turn is skipped.

You play the blue checkers and move toward the bottom-right, ending in your home board. The computer plays red in the opposite direction.
Press Roll dice, then tap a checker and a highlighted point to spend each die. Doubles give you four moves.
Land on a single enemy checker to hit it. It goes to the bar and must re-enter before that side can move anything else.
Once all fifteen of your checkers are in your home board you can bear them off. First to bear off all fifteen wins.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Pairs of checkers on a point are safe. A lone checker, a blot, can be hit.
Make points in your home board early. They block the computer from re-entering after you hit it.
You must use both dice if you can, and the larger one if only one can be played, so the game may force a move.
A gammon or backgammon, winning before the other side has borne off, is worth extra points on your record.
