The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the game board and get them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use differing plans in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game technique is to lure all your checkers into your inner board and get them off as quick as you can. This strategy focuses on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your pieces have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Plan
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. You should also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
