The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own pieces faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
