Backgammon board game is quite hard to play for the new players. A beginner may get confused as the game board set up and the coin placements are completely unusual. Special rules and regulations are there to be followed to play Backgammon which makes the game unique. Thus it enhances the fun and thrill in game playing. If a player studies these rules thoroughly, he can enjoy playing backgammon easily.
At first you have to set up the game board by selecting the black or white chips. You may then start the game by rolling the dice. Each player should throw the dice and the player who gets the higher number will start the game playing. If both the players get the same number, they have to continue throwing the dice until one of them gets higher number. Players have to throw both the dice to decide the first gamer.
The game starts from the top most corner in the right side and the chips in the set have to be moved towards the front side of the board. The moves of the chips have to be in anti clock direction. Even the opponent player`s coin should have to be moved in the same way. Players make the moves of the chips with respect to the numbers they get in the dice. It values from 1 to 24. Chips have to be moved inner wards of the player`s side in the board. When you roll the dice, the number you get is the point you score. For example if you get the numbers 1 and 3, you obtain 1 and 3 points respectively.
You can have the choice of moving 1 or 2 chips once you roll the dice. It depends on your own approach in the game and the availability of the position. So in the above example you can make one chip move by 1 point and the second chip by 3 points or move only one chip by 4 points. But you will not be permitted to move your chip in the place, where your opponent has already two chips. This will be called as a block. You can move if either you or your opponent has only one chip on the particular place and if it is not occupied by any other chips. None of the above cases is achievable then you have to make turn your chip. If you could move your chip legally, you may do and not the others.
You can make your own choice when you obtain doubles on the dice. This is an extraordinary case. You are then allowed to have your personal choice. In case if you get two 4s, you may select your one chip to go  16 or two chips to move 8 each or one chip to 12 and another to 4. Likewise you can decide your own move. If you take the place where your opponent has a chip, it is called as attack. The opponent`s chip is called as blot. This blot has to be taken out and kept on the center bar of the board.
Thus your opponent has to wait to move the chip legally. Till then he cannot go to any other moves. The blot will be kept in the inner board and he should start the game again. This rule remains same for you too. To get succeeded you have to move all your chips to the inner board. Once you complete it, you have to move all your chips bear off the board. The player who accomplishes this will win. If your opponent could not able to bear off even one chip from the board, you will get dual victory. If the opponent could not reach the bear off stage at least, it is triple victory.
