Each player begins with three pieces, rather than fifteen. At the start of the [[game]], each player begins with one piece on each of the three most distant points of the board (the 22-point, the 23-point and the 24-point).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gnubg.org/win32/gnubg/faq.html#What+is+Hypergammon?|title=What is Hypergammon?|website=www.gnubg.org}}</ref>

Hypergammon is often played using the [[Oswald Jacoby#Other games|Jacoby Rule]], which is also used in [[backgammon]] money games. Under this rule, gammons and backgammons will not count extra until the cube has been doubled.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bkgm.com/variants/HyperBackgammon.html|title=Hyper-backgammon|website=www.bkgm.com}}</ref>
