❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal of Backgammon Duel?
Move all 15 of your white checkers around the board and bear them off before the AI does the same. White moves from point 24 toward point 1, then bears off. First to bear off all 15 wins.
What happens when I hit an opponent's checker?
Landing on a point with exactly one opponent checker sends it to the bar. The opponent must re-enter from the bar before making any other moves — a powerful way to slow them down!
When can I start bearing off?
You can only bear off once all 15 of your checkers are in your home board (points 1–6). Use exact dice rolls to bear off from the matching point, or use a higher roll to bear off from the highest occupied home point.
