The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use a few techniques in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
