Backgammon — About this game
Backgammon for Game Boy Color. A lone checker can be hit and sent to the bar, while two together protect a point. Re-enter from the bar before moving other pieces. Once every checker is in your home board, bearing off becomes the final race; avoid leaving a vulnerable piece behind too early.
