About game

Staring at the screen during a long afternoon slump is the perfect excuse to sharpen your mind with a classic challenge.

If you land on a single enemy checker, you send it to the bar, forcing them to pause their momentum. Mastering this board game requires balancing aggressive tactics with careful defensive positioning to protect your men. Whether you prefer classic Narde or traditional Tavla, every match is a fresh test of logic and luck. You can experience this timeless backgammon challenge for free right in your browser without any downloads required.

How to play

Each player begins the game by rolling a single die each. The person with the high number can use two dice for their first move. If a player rolls a double number with the pair of dice, they get a double move. For instance, you can move two points two times if you roll a double two.

Each checker is moved forward independently. They can be moved onto any point that your opponent does not block.

A point is blocked if your opponent has two or more checkers occupying the point. However, a point is accessible if:
- It doesn't have any checkers on it,
- There is only one of your opponent’s checkers on it, or
- It’s occupied by one or more of your checkers.

If you move one of your checkers onto a point occupied by one of your opponent’s checkers, your opponent’s checker is moved to the middle bar. They must move that checker before they can make any other moves.
