The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board faster than your opposing player who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. How far you can move your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use a number of plans in the different parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique concentrates on the speed of advancing your pieces with no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The ideal time to use this plan is when you think you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. As soon as you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other pieces swiftly from the game board. The player will need to also have an apparent strategy when to back off and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game gets interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
