The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you have created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
