Gammons & Backgammons
If at the end of the game the losing player has removed one or more of his checkers from the board, he loses whatever stake is shown on the Doubling Cube. If all his checkers are in his home board, but he has not begun to remove them, he loses twice the stakes shown on the Doubling Cube: this is known as a Gammon. If at the end of the game, the loser has one or more checkers in his opponent's home board or on the bar, he loses three times the stake indicated by the Doubling Cube: this is known as a Backgammon
