A free program for Browser games, by MarketJS

Backgammon is a popular online game that you can play directly from your web browser. It is specifically a game of skill, although an element of luck is involved as well due to the presence of dice rolling. You can play the online Backgammon game as a single player with your computer or even have a partner play with you at the other end. The game has interesting and engaging graphics with an intuitive interface. 

Backgammon gameplay

The fast-paced game tests your strategic decision-making ability. When the game begins, you will notice that the board arrangement is distantly similar to that of chess. It consists of inner and outer checkered boards in black and white with numbers labeled for each triangular block. The total number of triangular blocks stands at 24. 

The aim of the browser game is to move each checker block close to the number one while the opponent attempts this in the opposite color. The first to start the game is determined through a dice roll and continues with alternative turns until either player reaches the checker block 1 first. 

The steps involved in the game are:

  • Once you have grasped the board layout, choose your checker side.
  • Roll the dice to determine who makes the first move.
  • Take turns to move checkers one at a time to an open block or point.
  • A double dice roll allows you to make four moves in a single turn.
  • Avoid hitting any opposed checker.
  • The player that reaches the number 1 checker first wins the game.

Should I play Backgammon?

Along with a strategy, the desktop browser game Backgammon also involves understanding the various rules to decide the best checker moves. This makes the game interesting as well as skill-boosting. The game offers a great opportunity to engage, communicate, and bond with your loved ones and is worth a try if you are into board games.
