Do i have to move in Backgammon?

Answer 1

Yes, you must always take the moves

--on both dice if you can,

--all four moves or as many as possible if you roll doubles

--on one die if the other is completely blocked

--on the larger roll if in a situation where you can take either die but not both.

Answer 2

Yes, a player must make a move when it is his or her turn. A player may not simply give up a move. This rule helps players checkmate the other king by forcing that player to make bad moves or moves that he or she would not make in order to set that player up for the kill.

Answer 3

If you can't move, you lose the turn. This is sometimes known as a dance.
