To do this a player must move all 15 men into the <a href="#home_table">home table</a> first. To bear them, the player then rolls the dice and removes a man from a point whose number corresponds to that on one of the dice. Thus a roll of 5-1 allows a player to remove one man from the 5-point and another from the Ace or 1-point (next to the end of the board). If the point corresponding to a die roll is unoccupied, a man must be removed from a higher-numbered point. If they are empty too, a man must be removed from the highest numbered point that <i>is</i> occupied. </p> </blockquote> <p style="padding-bottom: 0;"><cite class="left-aligned" style=""><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gnubg/manual/html_node/Bearing-Off.html#:~:text=2.5%20Bearing%20Off,that%20checker%20from%20the%20board."><i>2.5 Bearing Off</i></a> at gnu.org.</cite></p> </div> <dl><dt><span class="anchor" id="bearing_table"></span> bearing table</dt> <dd>The table in which <a href="#men">men</a> are <a href="#borne_off">borne off</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-F&M_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-F&M-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <dl><dt><span class="anchor" id="block"></span> block</dt> <dd>Any <a href="#point">point</a> on the <a href="#board">board</a> where two or more <a href="#men">men</a> rest.
