Hypergammon is a variation on backgammon. Instead of beginning with 15 checkers which need to be borne off from your home board, players each start with only three checkers on the 22, 23 and 24 points. These three need to be brought round the table and then borne off from your homeboard as if this were a game of backgammon with the same checkers in place. All other rules are exactly the same as in backgammon including ‘hitting’ an opponent, the doubling cube and so forth. For more information on general backgammon rules, please see the game instructions or quickstart popups.
