The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the game board and bear them off the board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match of Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use a number of plans in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your pieces into your inside board and bear them off as fast as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this plan is when you think you can move your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
