I-Backgammon kucingelwa ukuba yeyona mdlalo mdala emhlabeni, kwaye iinzululwazi ze-archaeologists zifumene iiseti ze-backgammon ezisusela kumhla we-3,000 BC. Ngumdlalo weklasikhi wenhlanhla odityaniswe nesicwangciso, njengoko kufuneka uqengqe idayisi kwaye ukhethe indlela efanelekileyo yokuhamba. Into emnandi malunga ne-backgammon kukuba imigaqo ilula ukuyichaza, kodwa ukongamela umdlalo kunokuthatha ubomi bonke. Ngokungafaniyo nechess, umdlalo uyakhawuleza ukuthatha kwaye udlale, kunye nemidlalo ihlala ihlala kuphela imizuzu embalwa.

Ngokusisiseko, kukho amacala amabini kwibhodi ye-backgammon, ngalinye linendawo ezilishumi elinambini, zizonke zingamashumi amabini anesine izithuba. Ezi zithuba zibaliwe ukusuka ku-1 ukuya ku-24 kwicala elichaseneyo labadlali ababini, ke umdlali umdlali isithuba 1 sisithuba somdlali ezibini ezingama-24, njalo njalo. Apho kubekwe khona izinto zokubala zabadlali (zokujonga) ziyahluka ngokuxhomekeke kwimithetho esetyenziswayo, kodwa ubumbeko oluqhelekileyo luluhlanu ku-6 nango-13, abathathu ku-8, kwaye ababini kuma-24.

Ukuqala komdlalo, uqengqa idayisi nganye, kwaye umdlali ohamba phezulu aphume kuqala asebenzise amanani kuwo omabini amadayisi. Umgaqo kukuba inani ngalinye lihamba, ke ukuba uqengqa isinye kunye nesithandathu, ungahambisa isheke esinye indawo kunye nomvavanyi omnye kwizithuba ezithandathu.

Kulapho iqala ukuba nzima khona, kodwa namathela kuyo. Xa uthatha isigqibo sokuba yeyiphi i-checker oza kuhamba kuyo kwaye phi, kuya kufuneka uthathele ingqalelo ukuba zeziphi iintshukumo ezivunyelweyo. Abavavanyi bakho banokuhamba kuphela kwizithuba ezingenabo abavavanyi, kuphela abavavanyi bakho, okanye inye kuphela yabavavanyi bomchasi wakho-awunakuhamba uye nakwesiphi na isithuba esinezimbini okanye nangaphezulu zabavavanyi bomchasi wakho. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba ufika kwisithuba apho Umchasi wakho enomjongi omnye kuphela, usithathile kwaye ungasibeka ‘kwibar’ embindini webhodi. Ibha ibalwa njenge ‘space zero’ kwimiqulu yedayisi, kwaye nakuphi na okutshekisha apho kufuneka kususwe phambi kokuba abanye babe.
