The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and get them from the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player really should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
