If you are a serious backgammon player, then you will find that if you are determined and have your mind set on playing the game, then you should have no problem getting the hang of this game. The backgammon directions usually come with any normal backgammon board game.
Backgammon is set up to play with two players. It is played on a board that has twenty-four triangles, which are called points for each one. The triangles are alternated with color and are grouped into four categories of six triangles in total. These categories are also known as the players home board and outer board. And the opponent s home and outer board. The home and outer boards are separated with a line down the center of the board, which is considered the bar.
The points are number for each of the players starting with the players home board. Each player will receive fifteen game pieces of his own color. The normal order of the game pieces is two on each player s twenty-four point, five on the player s thirteen point, three on each player s eight point, and five on each of the player s six point.
