The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use different plans in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your home 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 checkers. The best time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. You really should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
