The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces off the game board quicker than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the speed of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own chips a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game 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 Tactic

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by its title, is to stop your competitor’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and shift the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking technique.
