"Two player abstract strategy board game. Variant of Backgammon."

The game is played on a standard checkers board and requires sixteen red checkers, sixteen black checkers, and two six-sided dice.

"Each player gets one set of 16 checkers. Each player has his own 'side of the board.' On the back row of a players side, the player places a stack of 8 checkers in each of the two corner spaces. Red moves first."

"Checkers may be moved forward, to the left sideways, and to the right sideways. Checkers may not be moved diagonally or backwards."

The first player to move all of the player's checkers off the board from the opponent's back row wins the game.
