The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your chips around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling techniques. Players use differing tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this technique is when you think you can move your own chips faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player really should also have an apparent strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opponent utilizes the same blocking tactic.
