The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your checkers 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 round of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few plans in the differing stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This technique concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. Once you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly off the board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking technique.
