The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your challenger 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 good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use a few techniques in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of moving your checkers with no time spent to hit or block your opponent’s pieces. The best scenario to use this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
