🐱 Rules of Cat-gammon
Play Backgammon against Pythagoras, the math-loving Angora cat! Your goal is to move all your checkers into your home board and then bear them off before Pythagoras does.
1. The Board & Pieces
You play as the Grey Checkers (moving counter-clockwise from point 24 down to point 1).
Pythagoras plays as the Blonde Checkers (moving clockwise from point 1 up to point 24).
2. Movement & Hitting
Roll the dice and move your checkers according to the numbers shown.
You cannot land on a point occupied by 2 or more of Pythagoras' checkers.
Landing on a single checker (a "blot") hits it, sending it to the **Bar**.
Any checkers on the Bar must enter the game first before any other checkers can move.
3. Bearing Off
Once all 15 of your checkers are in your home board (points 1 to 6), you can start bearing them off.
The first player to bear off all 15 checkers wins!
