The object of e-Backgammon is to
be the first player to remove (bear off)
all 15 of his checkers from his inner
table. The checkers must first be
moved around the board and into the
player's inner table.
In e-Backgammon, you play
against the computer. Press and hold
the
NEW GAME
key to begin a new
game.
Using the
RIGHT
or
LEFT
keys,
select skill level, “
L1
” or “
L2
.” At
level one (
L1
), you are allowed to use
the
UNDO
key to take back your pre-
vious move. At level two (
L2
), you
cannot take back your previous move.
Press
START
to begin. You're
ready to start your game against the
computer. The computer plays the
black checkers and will make the first
move. Press
ROLL DICE
to roll the
dice for the computer. The computer
automatically makes its move.
After the computer has moved,
press
ROLL DICE
to roll the dice for
yourself. The two dice will flash their
numbers. Press
SELECT
repeatedly
to move the small hand icon through
the points on which you have check-
ers. When the small hand icon is on
the point from which you want to
move a checker, press the
RIGHT
or
LEFT
key to move the checker the
amount on the right or left die. Repeat
for the second die.
If you roll doubles, you must move
the number on each die twice, if pos-
sible. You must use all four numbers
if you can. Any number that you can-
not use is forfeited.
After you finish your turn, press
ROLL DICE
to roll the dice for the
computer again.
Continue trading moves with the
computer, until you or the computer
bear off all 15 checkers.
