The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and bear those pieces off the game board faster than your competitor who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use differing strategies in the different stages of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces swiftly from the game board. You should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when the opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
