The game of backgammon has been around for ages and played in homes, in bars, and now online. The rules are relatively simple, but the game play can take on many styles and techniques in order to be successful. The object of the game is to get all of your pieces around the board and cleared, before your opponent. The game consists of some luck and skill. You roll two dice and then decide on how to split the moves to best position your pieces to get around the board and avoid being captured by your opponents. If your opponent lands on your piece they can move it to the middle of the board and you will then have to start over from the beginning with that piece. This is where the strategy comes in. You must determine the right time to capture your pieces and at the the same time protect your own.
