The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you think you can shift your own pieces faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you’ve created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
