The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear them off the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use differing plans in the differing parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this technique is when you think you can shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. After you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly off the game board. You really should also have a good plan when to back off and shift the chips that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
