The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your pieces are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. After you’ve established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to back off and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
