The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player should also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
