Backgammon lesson 3: Bonk! Hitting

Send lonely checkers to the bar. Pip is setting up the board…

In this lesson

• A checker all alone is called a blot. Look, a lonely blue checker on point 5!
• Uh-oh! Now YOUR checker got bonked. It waits on the bar until it can come back in.
• A checker on the bar comes back in far away, on points 19 to 24. Roll a 1 for point 24, a 2 for point 23, and so on.
