The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
