QuestionDo I need to roll an exact number to bare the board?Community AnswerIf you roll a number too high to advance any of your checkers forward, you can bear off your furthest back checker. If you just have a gap, like checkers on your 6 and 2 points, then you can only bear off if you roll a 6 or a 2; rolls of 3, 4, and 5 have to be played by moving a checker forward from the 6 point.
