The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use differing tactics in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

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

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
