Short backgammon

Rules

• Each player has 15 checkers set 2–5–3–5; players move towards each other.
• Move by the two dice; a double gives four moves.
• A lone opponent checker can be hit — it goes to the bar.
• While you have a checker on the bar, you must enter it first.
• The goal is to bring all checkers home and bear them off first; mars and koks are a double and triple win.
