The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part One
March 28th, 2024 by Claudia

The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your chips is up 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 few tactics in the differing stages of a match based 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 inside board and bear them off as fast as you could. This strategy concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
