The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull them from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you believe you can move your own chips a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. After you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the board. The player should also have a clear plan when to back off and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
