The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear them from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This tactic concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips quickly. After you have established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
