The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get them from the board quicker 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 luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use different techniques in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
