The objective of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing techniques. Enthusiasts use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your opponent’s chips. The best time to use this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own chips faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about moving your chips quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a couple of chips, you can move your other chips quickly from the game board. The player will need to also have a good strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your opponent uses the same blocking tactic.
