The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a number of strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. You really should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
