Backgammon is a traditional wooden board game for two players. Get your backgammon set up just right - each player has 15 checkers (or chips as they're also known) which move around the Backgammon board based on the rolls of a pair of dice.

How to play Backgammon: The Backgammon board has 24 narrow triangles - 12 triangles at the top of the board and 12 triangles at the bottom. Each triangle is called a point and its main function is to be a space where a player moves their checker (based on the roll of the dice). Each player must move all their checkers (via the luck of the dice roll and tactics) to their home quadrants and off the board altogether. The first player to move their checker off the board, wins!

This traditional wooden backgammon board game is made from high quality, responsibly sourced FSC Certified wood.
