The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a few plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
