Backgammon Rules

Describes the rules of Backgammon Game. 

The objective of backgammon is to move all of one’s own checkers past those of one’s opponent and then remove them from the board. The pieces are scattered at first and may be blocked or hit by the opponent. Because the playing time for each individual game is short, it is often played in matches, where victory is awarded to the first player to reach a certain number of points.
