The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your chips with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
