The goal of a Backgammon match is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a good plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
