The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Succeeding in a game of Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. 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 determined by your overall gambling plans. Players use differing tactics in the different stages of a match dependent on your positions and opponent's.

The Running Game Tactic

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as quick as you can. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent's chips. The best time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own pieces quicker than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the game board; 2) all your pieces have past your competitor's pieces; or 3) your opposing player doesn't employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking strategy, by the name, is to block the opponent's checkers, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your checkers rapidly. After you have created the barrier for your opponent's movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips quickly off the game board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to back off and move the checkers that you used for blocking. The game gets interesting when the competitor utilizes the same blocking strategy.
