The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few plans in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. After you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
