The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing tactics in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other checkers swiftly off the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
