The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
