The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Players use different strategies in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The best scenario to use this tactic is when you think you can shift your own checkers a lot faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your chips rapidly. As soon as you’ve established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
