The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
