The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and get them off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quick as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
