The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few plans in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
