The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as quickly as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s chips. The ideal time to employ this plan is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
