The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
