The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your chips around the game board and bear them from the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly off the board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
