The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly off the game board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
