The goal of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your competitor who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a game of Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you will be able to shift your pieces is up to the numbers from tossing the dice, and the way you move your pieces are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use differing strategies in the different stages of a game based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The aim of the Running Game plan is to bring all your pieces into your home board and bear them off as quickly as you could. This tactic concentrates on the pace of moving your checkers with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best time to use this plan is when you believe you can shift your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking plan, by the title, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips rapidly. After you have established the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can move your other chips swiftly from the board. The player will need to also have a good plan when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking technique.
