The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
