The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
