The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player really should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
