The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s chips. The ideal time to use this technique is when you think you can move your own chips faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the board. The player should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
