We are happy to introduce a new classic game on BGA: Backgammon.

Most board games on BGA are modern, but many players like to play classic games here to enjoy BGA functionalities such as replay, ELO, statistics, trophies... Thus we are happy today to propose them this new classic game for two players.

Backgammon is a dice game. The goal is to move checkers around, then off the board. The first player to get all of his checkers off the board wins.

On your turn, you roll 2 dice, and you can make 2 moves accordingly - one move with one checker, and another move or with the same checker or another one. You can only move on "free" positions, meaning positions that are not occupied by 2 or more of your opponent's checkers. If you land on a position with only 1 checker belonging to your opponent, you "hit" it and place it on the middle bar (and it has to start over from the beginning). Finally, if you roll a double (for example 2-2), you can do 4 moves with that value.

This very nice adaptation of Backgammon for BGA has been developed by Hubert Borderiou using BGA Studio. A big thank you to him for this nice work!

Enjoy!
