The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you can. This plan concentrates on the pace of shifting your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the board. You will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
