Playing Backgammon
The backgammon game starts with each player rolling one dice: the person throwing the higher number moves the two values thrown. In the case of a tie, the dice are thrown again. Throws are now made alternately till the game ends.
Each value must be played independently, in any sequence chosen by the player. To explain: A 2 and 3 must be played as 2 and 3, or 3 and 2, with separate checkers or with the same checker. It cannot be played as a single throw of 5.
The throw of a double( 5-5, say) allows four moves of the number thrown (5+5+5+5).
If a player cannot legally move all the numbers thrown, she has to move the highest numbers possible, and forfeit the rest.
