The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and luck. Just how far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your checkers into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. After you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other pieces quickly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking technique.
