Badge tips

For faster game win badges, play with a friend or cooperative partner and take turns winning if you both know how to play. If you don't know how to play, don't worry: just roll the dice and move pieces to lighted spots and eventually one of you will win.

For fast game win badges, play with a friend or cooperative partner and set the Forfeit Timer to 1 minute. Have each player move their pieces until they are all past the other player's pieces, then have one player let the timer run out. When the other player is asked if they want to extend their opponent's time, that player should say No and he or she will win the game. (Note: there's no guarantee this trick will continue to work.)

For "move to the bar" badges, play with a friend or cooperative partner and land on each other's pieces whenever possible.

For "roll doubles" badges, just keep playing and hope you get them quickly.

Game tips

ALWAYS read a game's How to Play, and also check for a Hints or Tips tab and/or Tutorial. They do help!

Like most classic games, backgammon is easy to learn but difficult to master.
