How to Play backgammon - 

The aim of this 2 player game is to get all of your coloured discs home first! You set up the board according to the instruction sheet, then each player take turns rolling the dice and moving their pieces around to home. If your opponent lands on one of your pieces its sent back to the start. 

Backgammon is one of our personal favourites at Earth Toys as it involves a combination of strategy and luck from rolling the dice and then knowing where to place your pieces effectively to get them all home first, this evens the playing field and allows a range of ages and skill levels to play together.
