Long nardy: the rules in short

  1. Each side has 15 checkers stacked on its starting point, the head. Both move counter-clockwise.
  2. There is no hitting: a point holding even one enemy checker is closed.
  3. Only one checker may leave the head per turn, except on an opening roll of 3-3, 4-4 or 6-6.
  4. You may not build six closed points in a row that trap all fifteen of the opponent’s checkers.
  5. Bearing off starts once all 15 are home. A plain win scores 1, a mars (gammon) 2.
