The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board quicker than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. After you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
