You start with fifteen pieces. There are twenty-four pips (spaces) on the board. The object of the game is move all your pieces home, then bear them off into the side-tray. You win a point if you do this first. Two points if you bear off all your pieces before your opponent (aka: a gammon) You get three points if you can do that while holding one of their pieces on the bar, or back at their starting position (aka: a backgammon). Moves are dictated by the roll of two dice. Each die represents one move, so you can move two separate pieces or move the same piece twice. You cannot make a move if your piece lands on a pip with more than one rival-piece. If the pip is empty, you take that spot. If the pip contains one rival-piece, you hit that piece and takes its place while putting the rival-piece on the bar. They must roll to free their player from the bar and must start the piece at their starting position (if the roll permits this and they are not blocked). Doubles are what they sound like: a pair of five's means that you get four moves of five. You cannot start bearing off your pieces until you've arrived at home, in the final six pips of the race. As you move pieces into the side-tray, your high-number pips will become empty and so a high roll will count for the next highest pip (a roll of six will remove a piece from the fourth pip, for example, if there are no pieces on the five or six). If at any moment you think you're going to win, you can use the doubling cube and double the stakes, forcing your opponent to either accept the higher stakes or forfeit the game immediately. Either you get one free point and restart the game or your opponent accepts the challenge (meaning the game is now worth two points) and possesses power of the cube. If they feel that they will win the game, they can re-double the stakes. Either you accept or decline, only at this point you'd lose two points, and if you accept then a standard win is 4 points, a gammon is worth 8 and a backgammon is worth 16. Of course if you accept the challenge, you're now free to double the stakes if you're feeling brave.

That's backgammon. I'm addicted.
