Printworks Play N Backgammon

The aim is to get all your pawns into your base (known as 'home') and then remove them from the board. The player who does this first wins. The game involves two players, each receiving 15 pawns of one colour. The game board consists of 24 triangular fields divided into four zones: the reds' house, the courtyard (x2), the whites' house. The middle strip of the board is the so-called band. The pawns are arranged according to a fixed pattern. One player moves clockwise, the other counter-clockwise. The game is started by the person who throws more eyes with one dice. He then throws two dice and makes the first move.
