Each player has 15 checkers and moves them around the board according to dice rolls. White moves from points 24 down to 1; Black moves from points 1 up to 24. If you land on a point occupied by a single opponent checker (a blot), that piece is sent to the bar and must re-enter before other moves can be made. Once all your checkers are in your home board (points 1-6 for White, 19-24 for Black), you begin bearing them off. First player to bear off all 15 wins.
