The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you have established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the board. The player should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
