The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and bear those pieces from the game board faster than your opposing player who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a round in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you move your chips are decided on by your overall gambling techniques. Players use differing techniques in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Tactic

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and pull them off as fast as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of moving your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have a fewer checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main goal of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to stop the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other checkers quickly from the board. The player will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
