Backgammon Board Set-up
Nicky Pilkington

If you want to learn to play backgammon and you already know how
to play checkers it would be piece of cake as it is very muck
like checkers. Basically it is the same concept except some
little differences. The board set up is quite simple and you can
have a backgammon game ready to be played in a couple of minutes.

Backgammon set up is easy. Both the game pieces and the board
come in the same box. The more experienced players may already
own a complete set with board and game pieces; they could choose
to personalize it.

You can purchase the boards from any game store or department.
They are pretty cheap and are perfect gifts for your kinds or
friends.

Into a backgammon box you should find a board and thirty checkers
of two colors. Take out the board from the box and split the game
pieces by color, one color for each of the two players. They will
be placed on the board in a specific order before the game
starts.

Also in the box should be a pair of dice which will be rolled and
each player will take turn and move his checkers with the number
marked on the dice to the opposite end of the board.

Each player will try to get all of his fifteen checkers to the
home board and then bear them off. The first player to bear off
all of their checkers wins the game.

It is a very fun game that you can even play on the go. The board
set up is fun and easy and the clean up is even faster. If you
choose for a travel board, they are smaller and more compact so
they are easier to keep in the car or in the office so you can
play the game whenever and where you please. The game cases are
useful for keeping all the pieces together so you don’t misplace
them.

You can even choose to have your game board and checkers custom
made. They can be made of wood, plastic or even glass if you
want. And if you like to play a lot you can have them made from
lasting material so they don’t get worn out for several years.
