Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The game uses the traditional backgammon board and alternates turns between two sides. Dice results determine checker movement, while occupied points, blots, hits, and the bar affect which moves are legal.
The objective is to move all of your checkers into your home board and bear them off before the opposing side. Specific modes, computer-player options, difficulty settings, and progression systems are not reliably documented.
Plan your run
Prioritize establishing points in your home board while avoiding unnecessary exposed blots. Use rolls to build blocks, hit vulnerable opposing checkers when the position is favorable, and keep enough flexibility to respond to the next roll.
Because version-specific options and rules are unconfirmed, consult the in-game instructions before assuming that doubling, match play, or special variants are supported.
Tommy's Backgammon is a DOS computer adaptation of the traditional backgammon board game. The available reference information does not reliably identify its developer, publisher, release year, or distinctive presentation, so those details are left unconfirmed. Its core premise is the standard backgammon contest: two players move opposing checkers around a board according to dice rolls, attempting to bear them off before the opponent. The game is primarily turn-based and rules-driven rather than action-oriented. As with other digital backgammon programs, its historical value is chiefly as a straightforward home-computer implementation of a long-established tabletop game; a reliable critical reception record is not available.
