The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your chips are determined by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use different strategies in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This plan focuses on the pace of shifting your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking technique, by its name, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. Once you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips quickly from the board. You should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
