The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the Backgammon board and get them off the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round in Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to move your pieces is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Players use differing tactics in the differing parts of a game depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Technique

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you might be able to shift your own checkers a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opposing player does not employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the competitor’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your checkers quickly. Once you have established the blockade for your opponent’s movement with a few pieces, you can shift your other pieces rapidly off the board. The player should also have a good plan when to back off and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets interesting when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
