The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
August 20th, 2025 by Claudia

The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them from the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
