The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to move your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and the way you shift your checkers are determined by your overall playing plans. Players use a number of tactics in the different parts of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you can. This plan focuses on the speed of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or block your competitor’s checkers. The best scenario to use this plan is when you believe you might be able to shift your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opposing player doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about shifting your pieces rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other checkers rapidly from the board. You will need to also have a good plan when to extract and shift the pieces that you employed for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
