The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and bear them from the game board quicker than your opponent who works harder to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you shift your chips are decided on by your overall gambling plans. Players use a few strategies in the different parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this tactic is when you think you can shift your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.

The Blocking Game Plan

The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the title, is to block the opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers quickly. Once you’ve established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You should also have an apparent plan when to back off and move the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition utilizes the same blocking tactic.
