The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
