The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and pull them from the board faster than your competitor who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use different tactics in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own checkers quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other chips quickly from the game board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
