HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up 15 checkers per player in the standard starting positions across the 24-point board.

2

Players roll two dice each turn and move their checkers along the points according to the numbers rolled.

3

You may not land on a point occupied by two or more opposing checkers.

4

Landing on a single opposing checker sends it to the "bar," and it must re-enter before other moves are made.

5

The first player to move all 15 checkers off the board ("bear off") wins.
