The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and get those pieces off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. After you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
