The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you believe you can shift your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces quickly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
