The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your chips with absolutely no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces.

You will need to also have an apparent plan when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
