The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your chips around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board quicker than your competitor who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a number of strategies in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and bear them off as quick as you could. This plan focuses on the speed of moving your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s chips. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you believe you can shift your own chips a lot faster than the opponent does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) the opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main goal of the blocking tactic, by its title, is to stop your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you have established the blockage for your competitor’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can move your other pieces quickly from the game board. You should also have a good plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opponent utilizes the same blocking strategy.
