How to Play:

The objective is to move all 15 of your checkers around the board and bear them off before your opponent does. Players roll dice to determine how many points they can move their checkers. Hit your opponent's lone checkers ("blots") to send them to the bar, and strategically block your opponent's moves.

• Click "Roll Dice" on your turn.
• Click one of your checkers to select it. Movable checkers may glow, and valid destination points or bear-off areas will highlight.
• Click a highlighted destination to make your move.
• Use all dice values if possible. If you have no valid moves, your turn may be skipped or you can choose to pass (if applicable).
