The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you can move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the different stages of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as fast as you can. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your pieces with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you might be able to move your own checkers faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not worrying about moving your pieces quickly. After you have established the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other chips swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to back off and shift the pieces that you used for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
