The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them from the board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. Once you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
