The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear them off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use a number of plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
