with8alongeachside(thesquaresarealternatelycolouredlight&dark–mostcommonlyred&black)&a
setof12piecesforeachplayer(oneseteachofdark&light).Theboardshouldbesetupasshown:

thattheiropponentisunabletomakeanymove.

TheBasics–Theplayerssitfacingeachotherwiththeboardpositionedsothateachplayerhasadark
squareattheleftendoftheirfirstrow.Eachplayerplacestheirpiecesinthedarksquaresofthefirstthree
rowsontheirsideoftheboard.Theplayerwiththedarkerpiecesalwaysmakesthefirstmove.Movesare
madediagonally&onlyonemovemaybemadeoneachturn.Youcanonlymoveyourplayerintoasquareif
itisvacant.

Ifoneofyourpiecesisnexttooneofyouropponent’spieces&thesquarebeyondisfree,thenyoumust
jumpoveryouropponent’spiecewhichisthenremovedfromtheboard(captured).Youcanjumpfrom
vacantsquaretovacantsquareseveraltimesinarowwiththesamepiece&captureseveralofyour
opponent’spieces.Onceapiecehasreachedthefarendoftheboarditbecomesaking(thisissignifiedby
stackingtwocheckersontopofeachother).Akingcanmove&jumpdiagonallybothforwards&backwards.
Kingscanbecapturedlikeanyotherpiece.

TheFinerPoints–Youmustmakeyourmovewiththefirstpiecethatyoutouchunlessyouhavegivennotice
thatyouintendtoarrangeyourpiecesproperlyintheirsquares.Ifyoutouchanunplayablepieceyou
receivea‘caution’&ifyoucommitasecondoffenseyouforfeitthegame.

Youmustmakeyourmovewithinfiveminutes.Ifyoufailtomoveanappointedtime‐keeperwillcall‘time’&

themaccordingtothenumbershownonthethrowoftwodice.Thepersonwhoremovesalltheirmenfrom
theboardfirst(called‘bearingoff’)wins.

TheBasics–Theboardisdividedinto24pointswith12pointsoneachside.Eachsideisdividedintoaninner
&outerboard&eachinnerorouterboardisdividedintotwosectionswitheachmadeupofsixpoints.The
orderofplayisdeterminedbyrollofonedie&theplayerwiththehighestnumbergoesfirst.Theplayer
thenmovestwomenusingthenumbersshownonthetwodice–theirown&theiropponent’s–usingeach
numberindividually,notintotal.Iftheplayerthrowsadoubletheymustmovefourtimesthevalueofthe
dice.Theplayerscontinuebythrowinginturn–eachusingtheirowndice.Bothnumbersoftherollmustbe
usedwheneverpossible.Iftheplayercannotmove,playpassestotheopponent.

TheFinerPoints–Youcantakeoneofyouropponent’ssinglemenonapoint(calleda‘blot’)&replaceit
withoneofyourown(calleda‘hit’).Iftherearetwoormoremenonasinglepointtheyaresafe&cannot
betaken(calleda‘blockedpoint’).Youropponentcan’tlandonablockedpointbuttheycanmoveoverit.
Whenamaniscapturedheisplacedonthebar(alsocalled‘jail’)&mustenteryouropponent’sinnertable
accordingtothenumberthrownoneitherdice.Youcan’tmoveanyofyourothermenuntilthisisdone.If
youcan’tenterbecausebothpointsareblockedthentheturnpassestoyouropponent.

Allofyourmenmustbeinyourinnertablebeforeyoucanstartbearingoff.Ifpossibleyoumustuseyour
entireroll.If,forexample,yourollafivebuthavenomenonyourfivepoint,youmusttakeamanoffthe
highestpointwhereyouhaveone.Ifamaninyourinnertableishitwhileyouarebearingoff,thatmanhas
togotothebar&re‐enter.Youcan’tcontinuebearingoffuntilyougetthismanbackintoyourinnertable.

landsontheothersideofthetable.Iftheservetouchesthenet,itisa‘let’&youmustserveagain.Ifit
11


touchesthenet&landsonthefloor,youloseapoint.Iftheservegoesintothenetthenyoualsolosethe
point.Youserveuntilfivepointshavebeenscored&thentheotherplayergetstoserveforthenextfive
points.At20‐20(youmustwinbytwopoints)youalternatetheserveaftereachpoint.

backontotheopponent’sside.Thereturnballcantouchthenet&stillgooverbutitcannotgointothenet
otherwiseyouwillloseapoint.Ifthereturningballtouchestheedgeofthetableonyouropponent’ssideit
stillcountsasin(aslongastheballhitstheedgewhilstdropping).Iftheballhitsthesideofthetabletopitis

opponent’sbatbeforeittouchesthefloororwall.Thismayseemoddthatyoucanwinapointbymissing
thetablebutthisruleistopreventanyvolleyplay.

LoseaPoint–If,whenattemptingtoserveormakeareturn,youmisstheball.Ifyouhittheballintothe
net,includingthetopofthenet,&itcomesbacktoyoursideofthetable.Ifyouhittheballwideortoofar
