A dice-and-board break with a coworker: race your checkers home and bear them off first.
Backgammon: rules, tips to win and how it helps at work
In Backgammon, each player races fifteen checkers toward their home board, then bears them off. The first to remove all fifteen wins. Roll two dice and use both when possible, with doubles granting four moves.
A lone opposing checker can be hit and sent to the bar, while points occupied by two or more are blocked.
Set up a longer break-time duel with a coworker and follow the dice as the race shifts across the board. Each roll creates a choice between advancing, covering a point, or hitting a lone checker—plenty to discuss while you try to get all fifteen home first.
