The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull them from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
