The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use different plans in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
