Backgammon XXL

About Backgammon XXL: Classic Board Game with Two Play Styles

Backgammon XXL brings the classic board game to life with two distinct play styles, competitive tournaments, and deep customization options. The game is built around a board with two rows of 12 vertical markings called "points," where players roll dice to move their fifteen checkers with the goal of bearing them all off the board first.

In one scene, a man wearing a green turban and a man in a Victorian-style top hat sit at a wooden table surrounded by gold coins and candles. In that same scene, two red dice with white pips rest in the center of the wooden game board.

How to Play Backgammon XXL: Bear Off All Fifteen Checkers First

The objective is straightforward: roll dice to move checkers across the board and be the first player to bear off all fifteen pieces. Every game follows either the Short or Long ruleset, and the differences between them go beyond pace alone — Long differs from Short in how pieces are initially placed, whether hitting is possible, and the direction of movement.

Game Modes

• Short: the classic game mode
• Long: the game lasts longer, as it is impossible to knock down the opponent's chips
