The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the differing parts 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 checkers into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
