The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and bear them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few tactics in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
