The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a few plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
