Play backgammon online for free on Classic Play Games. One of the oldest board games in the world — roll the dice, move your checkers, and bear them off before your opponent. Challenge the AI at different difficulty levels or play against a friend, no account or download required.
Each player controls 15 checkers on a board of 24 narrow triangles called points. The goal is to move all your checkers into your home board (your last six points) and then bear them off — remove them from the board — before your opponent does the same.
Roll two dice on your turn. You can move one checker by the total or move two checkers, one by each die. You can land on any point that is open, occupied by your own checkers, or occupied by exactly one opponent checker (a "blot") — landing on a blot sends it to the bar, where it must re-enter before any other moves. Doubles let you play four moves of that number instead of two.
Pick from multiple AI difficulty levels. Easier opponents leave more blots; stronger ones build solid points and bear off efficiently. Use the easier settings to learn the flow before stepping up.
Two-player local mode lets you and a friend share one device. Hand it back and forth between turns — no second account, no invitation.

Once all 15 of your checkers are in your home board, you start bearing off. Roll a number that matches a point with one of your checkers on it, and remove that checker from the board. The first player to bear off all 15 wins.
