The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a number of plans in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inside board and bear them off as quick as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
