The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. How far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
