The goal of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board quicker than your opposing player who works just as hard to achieve the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and how you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling tactics. Enthusiasts use differing techniques in the different parts of a match dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Tactic
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to move your own pieces quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent does not employ the hitting or blocking tactic.
The Blocking Game Technique
The primary aim of the blocking tactic, by the name, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips rapidly. As soon as you have established the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have a clear plan when to extract and shift the chips that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
