One of, if not thebiggest mistake you can make when playing Backgammon is failing to learn from the mistakes
that you have made previously. Even if you are unable to obtain a
prime, having stacks of checkers in corresponding corners
can't hurt your chances of success. On a similar note, stacking checkers
increases your chances of obtaining a prime (six consecutive corners occupied
by your checkers). It also allows you to indulge in some friendly competition as you compete to win and remove
each other’s counters from the board. However, you may benefit from keeping these instructions
on hand when you first begin playing so that you can refer to them
as often as you need.
Generally, speaking, pass, and play backgammon refers to a game of backgammon that is played using a shared backgammon board and dice.
A game of Backgammon begins with both players rolling the dice.
There is always a bit of luck involved in dice games, but
backgammon requires skill to win, even when you get a bad dice roll.

Each player has 15 checker pieces placed across
the board. If the losing player has not borne off any of their checkers by the time the winner has won, the winner will achieve 2 points, and is known as losing a gammon.
