The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them from the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different plans in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
