The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your competitor who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall playing strategies. Players use different strategies in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The aim of the Running Game technique is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This plan concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this strategy is when you believe you might be able to shift your own chips faster than your opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly from the game board. You should also have a good strategy when to back off and shift the checkers that you employed for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking technique.
