The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use differing techniques in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. After you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
