When I first started to learn backgammon setup I was really confused.  I had this board in front of me that didn’t seem to go in any direction and it had big triangles all over the place.  I think that’s a typical reaction for most newcomers to backgammon.  Now, some people can read instruction books and figure everything out, but I need to see and do it.  I found my answer online with internet backgammon.

There are free online backgammon sites that allow new players to learn backgammon setup, rules and strategy risk free.  When I first started playing online backgammon I would play the computer because that was the best way to play and not embarrass myself.  It would only allow me to make correct moves and when I made wrong moves there was an information button that I could press to find out why I wasn’t allowed to make the moves.  When I combined that with tips I found for playing online, it didn’t take long to move past basic backgammon setup and rules understanding and on to the fun part of strategy.

Another great thing about online backgammon is that thousands of people from all over the world are online playing every day, so when you want to play real opponents you’ll never have trouble finding one.  And, when you outgrow the free tables, the real money tables are a click away.

Whether you’re just learning how the backgammon setup works or you’re a seasoned player looking to make money, online backgammon has what you’re looking for.
