Backgammon is a game for two players, played on a board consisting of twenty-four narrow triangles called points. The triangles alternate in color and are grouped into four quadrants of six triangles each. The quadrants are referred to as a player's home board and outer board, and the opponent's home board and outer board. The home and outer boards are separated from each other by a ridge down the center of the board called the bar.
The points are numbered for either player starting in that player's home board. The outermost point is the 24 point, which is also the opponent's one point. Each player has 15 checkers of his own color. The initial arrangement of checkers is 2 on each player's 24 point, 5 on each player's 13 point, three on each player's 8 point, and 5 on each player's 6 point.
The object of the game is for a player to move all of his checkers into his own home board and then bear them off. The first player to bear off all of his checkers wins the game.
