The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning 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 rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces quickly off the board. The player should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
