The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing strategies. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your home board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your pieces with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best time to use this strategy is when you believe you can move your own pieces a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve created the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips quickly off the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
