The aim of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing techniques. Players use different techniques in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces rapidly. After you’ve created the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game gets interesting when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
