The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces from the board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers quickly from the board. You really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
