The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you might be able to move your own chips quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

Once you’ve established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
