BIGJIGS Toys Wooden Board Game 3 years+ strategy hand-eye coordination board game for 2 players

The BIGJIGS Toys backgammon set is one of the longest-standing board games, a strategy game loved by generations. The goal of the game is to move all your pieces into your home board and then bear them off before your opponent to be declared the winner. It is a combination of luck and strategy, which simultaneously develops hand-eye coordination skills and logical thinking.

The game is played on a board consisting of 24 narrow triangles, the spaces where the pieces are placed, grouped into 4 zones of 6 triangles each. The triangles are in alternating colors, and the game can be played by 2 people. The product is made of wood and painted with varnishes and paints.

The rules are simple to follow: each player has 15 pieces, called checkers, of a light or black color. The game begins with whoever rolls the highest number on the dice. After rolling the dice, the player moves their pieces as many triangles as indicated by the dice, always forward in the direction of play, so as to reach the home board of the person who rolled the dice. Once a player has brought all their pieces into their home board, they can start removing them from the board, and the removed pieces are not brought back into play.

If, during the removal of the pieces, one remains exposed and is captured by the opponent, you will first have to re-enter the piece and bring it back to your home board to continue. The player who manages to remove all pieces from the board first, according to the rules, is declared the winner. The set includes the game board, 30 playing pieces, 5 dice, of which 4 are dot dice and one is a numbered die, and instructions.
