The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use a number of strategies in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal 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 plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own chips faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
