About Gemmon
Gemmon brings one of history's oldest and most strategic board games to the blockchain. Backgammon is a game of pure depth combining dice luck with deep positional strategy, racing tactics, blot protection, and the psychological pressure of the doubling cube.
Players control 15 checkers each Ivory and Ebony racing in opposite directions around 24 triangular points on a shared board. The first player to bear off all 15 checkers wins. Gemmon runs on TON (Toncoin)same platform, same wallet as all TokenXGames titles.

Your Checkers
Each player is assigned one of two checker sets. Colors are randomly assigned in ranked play:
Ivory
Moves from point 24 toward point 1. Home board is points 1-6 (bottom right). Starts with 2 on point 24, 5 on point 13, 3 on point 8, 5 on point 6.
Ebony
Moves from point 1 toward point 24. Home board is points 19-24 (top right). Mirror starting position to Ivory. Moves in the opposite direction around the board.
How to Play
Roll Two Dice
Each turn you roll two dice. Move one checker by the value of each die, or move one checker by the combined total. You must use both dice values if legally possible.
Doubles - Roll Again
Rolling doubles gives you four moves of that number instead of two. For example, rolling 4-4 means you may move up to four checkers by 4 points each.
Hit a Blot
Land on a point with exactly one opponent checker (a blot) to hit it sending it to the bar. The opponent must re enter from your home board before making any other moves.
Re Enter from the Bar
A checker on the bar re enters on your opponent's home board. Roll a number matching an open point if no entry is possible, you lose your turn.
Build Points & Primes
Two or more of your checkers on a point makes it yours. Six consecutive owned points create a prime that blocks opponents completely.
Bear Off to Win
Once all 15 checkers are in your home board, start bearing off. First player to remove all 15 checkers wins the match.
Special Mechanics
Hit & Bar
Land on an opponent's lone checker to send it to the bar. Forces them to waste turns re entering and creates a strong tempo advantage.
Doubles
Rolling identical numbers gives 4 moves instead of 2. Doubles can completely change momentum in a single turn.
Bear Off
The final race phase begins once all 15 checkers are inside your home board. Efficient bearing off decides close matches.
Blocking
Two checkers on a point block opponents from landing there. Smart blocking limits movement and forces weaker plays.
Prime
Six consecutive blocked points create a prime trapping opponent checkers behind a powerful defensive wall.
Gammon / Backgammon
Win before your opponent bears off any checker for bonus payouts. Total domination rewards bigger victories.
The Doubling Cube
How it Works
Before rolling on your turn, you may offer to double the current stakes. Your opponent must accept doubling the pot or resign and forfeit the current stake. The cube passes to the opponent, who now controls the right to re double. Stakes can escalate from ×2 → ×4 → ×8 and beyond. Declining a double forfeits the match instantly a test of nerve as much as skill.
