The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of tactics in the differing stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you’ve established the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
