The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block your opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve created the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. You will need to also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
