The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with absolutely no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the board. You really should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
