The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them off the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a number of plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
