The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
