How to play
Backgammon rules, compressed into a faster race.
Hyper Backgammon keeps the familiar rhythm of backgammon but starts each player with only three checkers. That smaller setup makes every hit, point, bear-off, and cube decision arrive fast.
Start with three
Each side begins with one checker on the opponent's 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point.
Move like backgammon
Roll, move, make points, hit single opposing checkers, re-enter from the bar, and bear off using standard backgammon movement.
Use the cube
You can double or redouble. Gammons and backgammons only score extra after a double has been offered and accepted.
