The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of tactics in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your pieces with no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you have created the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers swiftly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
