The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own pieces quicker than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Plan

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the title, is to block your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you’ve created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other chips rapidly off the board. You really should also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
