The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces off the game board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a few techniques in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
