The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a few plans in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
