The aim of a Backgammon game is to shift your pieces around the game board and pull them off the board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you will be able to move your checkers is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you shift your checkers are decided on by your overall playing plans. Players use a few tactics in the different stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Strategy
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to bring all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quickly as you can. This plan focuses on the pace of moving your pieces with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to use this strategy is when you think you can move your own pieces quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by the title, is to block the opponent’s pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. As soon as you’ve created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips rapidly from the board. The player should also have a good strategy when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking technique.
