The aim of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull those pieces off the board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s pieces. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. After you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
