The Tools:
The game board consists of 24 triangles. Each triangle marks the places where the stones can move.
Each player has 15 stones.
The board can be divided into four quarters. In each quarter there are six triangles.
One of the four quarters is also called a base. Each player has his own base:
The first player – the base is in the bottom right quarter.
Second player – the base is in the upper right quarter (lower left from the other player’s point of view).
The Beginning Of The Game:
For simplicity we decide that the first player has the blue stones and the second player has the purple stones (no matter the colors. Each backgammon board and its colors).
Each player has 15 stones in his possession. The stones arranged as follows:
How To Play:
Each player in turn throws two dice and moves his stones according to the throwing results.
You can move one stone according to the sum of the dice together and you can move one stone according to the result of the first dice and another stone according to the result of the second dice.
The first player track is different from the second player track. See photo:
The idea is to take all the stones you have out of the board.
Rules:
A triangle with two or more stones are called a house. The opponent can not stop on house (you can skip over the house and continue for the next triangle).
A triangle in which only one stone is exposed for eating. Once a stone is eaten it should start the route from the beginning.
If one of your stones is eaten, and you roll the dice and the dice result does not allow you to return the stone to the board – the turn goes to the opponent.
Only when all 15 stones are at your base, only then, you can removed them from the board (of course depending on the result of the throw).
Double – if in the roll of the dice we got the same number (for example 5,5) then we will double the result which means we will move the stones four times five.
How To Win?
The first to get off the board all 15 of his stones is the winner.
March says you took out all 15 of your stones and your opponent was unable to take out even a single stone.
So What Is March?
March says you took out all 15 of your stones and your opponent was unable to take out even a single stone.
So what the hell is a Turkish March?
Ahh I Got It, So What The Hell Is A Turkish March?
