The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of tactics in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
