The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces off the board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use different plans in the different parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Plan

The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your checkers into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you could. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your pieces with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own pieces faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by its name, is to stop the opponent’s chips, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the board. The player should also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking strategy.
