How to play Backgammon

Backgammon is for 2 players and takes about 30 minutes. On each turn, you roll two dice and choose how to move your 15 checkers around the board, trying to remove them all before your opponent does; you can also raise the stakes with the doubling cube. It feels like a brisk mix of planning and dice-driven uncertainty, and suits players age 8 and up who want direct competition without a long rules teach.
