The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them from the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of tactics in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quick as you could. This tactic focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this technique is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockade for the competitor’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
