The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
