The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different plans in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
