The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you shift your checkers are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use different techniques in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game technique is to bring all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces rapidly from the game board. The player really should also have an apparent plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
