The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
