- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About Backgammon ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The object of Backgammon is to move the white stones into the home table (the
- six points in the lower right section of the table), and then to move all 15
- stones into the pocket on the right. The black stones are moved by the computer
- to the upper right section of the table. The player who moves all stones into
- the pocket first, is the winner.
-
- White stones move along the top half to the left, then down, and along the
- bottom half to the right. Stones cannot land on any point that is already
- occupied by two or more opposing stones, but can bump singleton stones which
- are then moved to the middle bar. Stones from the bar move to upper right.
-
- After each roll, stones are advanced according to the numbers on the dice. Both
- dice can be applied to the same stone, but the stone must make the two moves
- consecutively. Whenever a player rolls doubles, that number is not taken twice,
- but four times. When all stones are in the home table and you cannot advance
- any of your stones according to the exact number on the dice, you can move a
- stone into your pocket that is less points away than the number on your dice.

- Choose New from the Game menu to start a new game or press Ctrl+N. Then you
- have to roll dice to determine who moves first. The player with the higher
- numbers on the dice moves first. To move a stone, move the mouse pointer to the
- desired point and drag the stone to the new place with the right mouse button
- (mouse button 2). If it is a legal move, the stone will drop to the new place.
- The computer makes its move then. After that you have to double-click with
- mouse button 1 to roll the dice or press Enter, Spacebar or Return.
