How to arrange chips
Each player must place his 15 chips in a certain way: To do this, you need to consider the number of points on the game board. For each player, they are numb separately, starting from the house. The farthest point is considered the 24th for the player and also the first person for his opponent.
The arrangement of chips in short backgammon for each player:
In the chips of 24 2; In the 13-5 score chips; At the eighth point – 3 chips; In the sixth point – 5 chips.
Therefore, each player has some chips in all quarters of the gaming table.
To understand who to go first, each player must leave a bone: the person whom the cube will win. At the same time, he must move his chip according to the numbers falling on both blocks.
The purpose of the game is to draw your chip in a circle through the entire table and remove them from the game field
How to walk
In a short time, the chips move towards each other. Players, have a house below, can only go clockwise, and his opponent with a house on the top is in the opposite direction.
At the same time, the chip can only become an open point – the triangle is set, not busy or busy with just a chip of the enemy. If it costs two or more his chips on it, it will not work to move to him.
Players are allowed to move the chips on the number that has fallen during the throw. However, he himself can decide how to take action. For example: If 3 and 5 fall on blocks, it can:
Go a chip for 3 schools, and the other – 5; Take a chip for 8 schools (3 + 5).
If the player doubled, the number of travel doubled. For example, if the cubes show 3 and 3, players can walk four times three times.
According to the rules, players should use all the numbers he has decreased, if possible. If he could only play some, he also had the obligation to do this. If you can go all (all the points are busy), the player will miss the move.
It is believed that the player has completed the movement when he lifted up from the tables
If the chip players It becomes On Blot, she automatically defeated the enemy's chip there. She, in turn, fell into the bar. In this case, the priority of the player is to withdraw his chip from the bar, that is, charge it in the opponent's house. To do this, you need to remove the blocks: For example, if the player drops 5 and 6, he can withdraw the chip from the bar to the fifth or sixth points – but only when they open. If there are two or more enemy chips there, players will miss the move.
As soon as the player transferred all the chips into his house, he could start throwing them out of the game board. To do this, he needs to throw the block:
If, for example, 2 and 5, players can remove the chip from the second and fifth points on all sides; If an empty point falls out (for example, first, there is no chip), players are allowed to remove the chip from points greater than the number of results. If you have no chip, you can throw chips from smaller numbers.
