Backgammon Online Free – Points, Dice, Bear Off

Roll, select your checker, then a green target (or Bear off). AI plays black.
About this game
Checkers move in opposite directions. Hitting a lone blot sends it to the bar; re-entry uses the dice before other moves. When all your men are in the home board you may bear off. First to bear off fifteen wins. New Game or R resets the starting pip layout.
