The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You really should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
