The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your chips is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and just how you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few strategies in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own checkers quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
