The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use differing strategies in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
