The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and get them from the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. How far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you can move your own chips faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
