The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your chips into your home board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your chips with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. Once you’ve established the blockage for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. You should also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
