The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
