The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a number of plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. After you have established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
