How to play

Learn the game in six steps

Each player has 15 checkers. Move them all around the board into your home and off it before your opponent does.

  1. Roll for the start

    Each player rolls one die in their Yotri Dock. The higher number moves first, using both dice from that roll.

  2. Roll and move

    Roll both dice in your Yotri Dock and the result appears on screen. Move checkers by the number on each die; one checker can use both. A double means four moves.

  3. Choose where to land

    Select a checker and the game highlights where it can go: an empty point, a point with your own checkers, or a point with a single opponent checker.

  4. Hit and the bar

    Land on a single opponent checker to hit it. It goes to the bar and must re-enter before that player can move anything else. No entry, no move.

  5. Bear off

    Once all 15 checkers are in your home board, remove them by the numbers you roll. No checker on that point? Move a higher one, or bear off your highest.

  6. Win the game

    The first player to bear off all 15 checkers wins. How far ahead you finish decides your points.

Scoring

  1. Single game

    Your opponent has borne off at least one checker.

  2. Gammon

    Your opponent has not borne off a single checker.

  3. Backgammon

    A gammon, and they still have a checker on the bar or in your home board.
