The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player really should also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
