The quadrant that contains your 1-6 points is known as your home board. Throughout the game, players will move their checkers from the 24-point towards the 1-point. Here is how each player sets up their checkers: The first player’s 1-point is the second player’s 24-point, and vice versa. The 13-24 points are on their opponent’s side, with 12 and 13 being across from each other. Each has their own 1-12 points in order on their side of the board. The two players see the board as a mirror image of each other. The points are numbered from one through 24. Each player begins the game with 15 checkers. Players sit across from each other on opposite sides of the board.
