The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your pieces are determined by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing techniques in the differing stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This tactic focuses on the speed of moving your checkers with no efforts to hit or block your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this strategy is when you think you can move your own checkers a lot faster than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking technique, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your chips quickly. Once you have created the barrier for the competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other pieces quickly from the game board. The player really should also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opponent utilizes the same blocking technique.
