The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and get them off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly from the board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
