The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull them off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Players use a few strategies in the different stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your chips into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of shifting your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to use this technique is when you think you can move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block the competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. Once you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You should also have an apparent strategy when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
