Full rules
vs Brainrot

How to play

Roll and move. Move one checker by each die, or one checker by both. Doubles are played four times. You must use both dice if you can, or the larger one.
Hit blots. Land on a lone purple checker to send it to the bar. Your own checker on the bar must come back in before anything else moves.
Build points. Two checkers make a point nobody can land on. A row of points traps Brainrot's back checkers.
Bear off. Once all 15 are in your home board (points 1–6), take them off. First out wins 1, a gammon 2, a backgammon 3.

Quick tips

Learn the opening rolls. Some first rolls have a clear best play. 3-1: 8/5 6/5 makes your 5-point. 4-2: 8/4 6/4 makes your 4-point. 6-1: 13/7 8/7 makes your bar point. 6-5: run a back checker, 24/13.
Count the pips. Your pip count is the total distance your checkers must travel to bear off. Both sides start at 167. In a pure race, a lead of around 10% is a strong edge.
