In acey ducey backgammon, the players' pieces are off the board when the game begins. Players must bear the checkers on at the beginning of the game. The movements of the checkers, however, are the same as in the regular backgammon. These are just some similarities and differences in the acey ducey variant and the standard backgammon game.
