Backgammon Online – Gammon?

As I promised in my last post Backgammon – Rules & Practice I’ve looked further into the free software to play backgammon games on bgroom.com

They provide clear, step-by-step instructions on downloading and installing the software. Once setup you can choose between practice mode and real money mode.

Real money mode is where you play for money, a little bit like in an online casino. No payment is required: signing up gives you $5 playing money. If you do make a deposit, then the first time you do so gives you  30% more money than you deposit!

Of course very different from a regular online casino, backgammon is not a pure chance game.

To better your chances of winning you have to learn how to play backgammon and especially online backgammon.

For most of us it is best to start with a refresher of the rules of how to play backgammon.  In a nutshell: “The objective of backgammon is to remove all 15 checkers from the board before your opponent does. This is done by first getting all of the checkers into your home board, and then removing all of your checkers according to the dice score. This stage of taking your checkers off of the board is called the bear-off. The winner of the game, according to backgammon rules, is the player that succeeds in bearing off all of his checkers first.”

And by the way, did you know that there is both backgammon and gammon?

Backgammon – Rules & Practice

I love playing board games like checkers, chess and backgammon. Only problem is that when it comes to backgammon I have no idea what I’m doing. What makes it even harder is that I have no-one around here that enjoys the game as well, so practice is out of the question.
