In this case, learning backgammon rules will be easier for you. To become a professional player, you need a lot of practice. But you don’t need to be a professional player to play a friendly game. 
Start of the game
In Backgammon, the game starts with two players. Each player has 15 single-colored pieces. To start the game, both players throw a dice and whoever gets a bigger number is the game starter. It is not possible to throw two dice by one person. After that, the dice are thrown alternately. The starting player starts the game with the sum of the same two dice. The movement of the number of pieces is based on the number on the dice. If the number on the dice is playable and it is possible to move the dice, you must move the dice. You cannot do as you please.
In backgammon, the number on the dice is not added together, but after rolling the dice, the player decides to move one die twice or move two dice separately. Remember that the direction of movement of the dice is from house 24 to the side of house 1.
If the numbers on the dice are the same, the player must count them twice. For example, two dice with the same number of 6, that is, the player has rolled four to six. If one or both of the dice fall out of the backgammon board, the dice roll must be repeated. If the mirror roll happens, you have to roll the dice again.
The house occupied by a piece is called a single. The opponent can hit a single piece. In this case, the piece is out of the game and placed on the bar or counter. Remember that in the last 6 houses, you cannot knock the opponent’s checker. The player should try to bring in the out-of-game pieces every time he rolls the dice.
Transferring the beads
Note that the beads jump over each other when moving the beads. Each player can place pieces only on open spots. A closed spot is where you are not allowed to place a bead. An open point is a part of the board where there are no pieces or only one piece of the opponent. You can hit the opponent’s piece and remove it from the game.
If a player cannot find an open spot for his piece, he cannot move it and must wait for the next round of the game.
In general, your role in moving the pieces is not just to deliver the pieces to your home screen. You have to close the opponent’s way so that there is no open spot. Also, pay attention to hitting his pieces and of course, you should be careful that the opponent does not target your pieces.
In the backgammon board, whenever a piece is hit by the opponent, it must be re-entered in the next rounds. When you roll the dice, the number shown is the entry point to the playing field. If your bead entry point is on a closed point, you cannot insert the bead.
A lightning attack is an attack that is done on the opponent’s old damage counters. Instead of occupying houses, you focus on your opponent’s pieces to hit them. If you occupy two or more points from your opponent’s house, you give the player aggressive mode. When you occupy rival houses, you change the situation in your favor.

The end of the backgammon game
In Backgammon, the winner is the one who removes the pieces from the board faster than the opponent. When the player has moved all the pieces to his home screen, he can remove the pieces based on the number of the dice. In backgammon, the best strategy to end the game is to remove the pieces as quickly as possible. This means that all the triangles on your home screen are filled with internal pieces and you remove them every time you roll the dice. This takes practice, so don’t take it lightly.
