Other Backgammon Variants

Backgammon boards are being used to play different kinds of backgammon games. Here you will find the basic rules of the most common variants.

Hypergammon - Each player begins with three checkers. The setup is one piece on each of the three most distant points of the board (the 22-point, the 23-point and the 24-point). Other rules are the same as regular backgammon.

Nackgammon – The game is similar to the regular version, except that the setup is a bit different. You have two additional checkers on the opponent's 2-point, which are taken from your mid-point (13-point), and 6-point.

The game tends to be longer than regular backgammon. This is because you have more checkers on you opponent's home-board, so it is harder to bring them to your home.

Tapa
The word "tapa" means "bottle cap" and it's an apt name because one seeks to block out the opponent's pieces. The starting position is as shown below
A very popular game in Bulgaria and Greece (where it is also known as 'Plakoto').
The final goal of the game is the same as the standard version; however there is no hitting in the game. If you make a move on a blot, land on top of it and the enemy checker can't move as it is trapped, the opponent can't land on a point with a trapped checker on it.
The setup is as follows: Each player starts the game with 15 checkers on the opponent's home board.
Most of the other core-rules are the same.

Longgammon – The game is exactly the same as backgammon, the only difference is the setup. Each player has 15 checkers on his opponent's one point (The same as Tapa).
