Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as Checkers, stones, etc. Remove all of one's own checkers from the board before one's opponent can do the same. Playing time is short for each individual. The reward will be given to the first player to reach a certain number of points. Play the classic strategy game with a portable personality - perfect for picnics. 2 players take turns moving a man one space diagonally, or jumping the opponent if he's blocking the way. Best of all get "kinged" by making it to the other side and flipping your pieces over to differentiate your "kinged" color. Take fun with you anywhere! Good Luck!
