How to play

The goal is to bring all 15 of your checkers home and bear them off the board before your opponent. Just 4 steps to your first game.

01

Board and checkers

The board is split into 24 points, and each player has 15 checkers. They move toward each other — each player heading for their own home.

02

Roll the dice

On your turn you roll two dice and move your checkers the number of points shown — with one checker or two.

03

Occupied points

A point held by two or more of your opponent's checkers is closed — you can't land there. Build your own blockades.

04

Bear off

Once all your checkers are home, start bearing them off the board. Whoever bears off all theirs first wins.

About the game

Backgammon is one of the oldest board games in the world, where the dice merely set the possibilities while skill decides the outcome. Knowing how to build blockades, run your checkers to safety and take a risk at the right moment is what separates a beginner from a seasoned player. On muta.pro you can play backgammon against an opponent right in your browser with no install: the board, the dice and the move counting are already at hand.
