The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear them off the board quicker than your opponent 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 can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quick as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
