The goal of a Backgammon match is to move your pieces around the Backgammon board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your challenger who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposite direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and good luck. Just how far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you move your chips are decided on by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the differing stages of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The goal of the Running Game plan is to lure all your pieces into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic focuses on the pace of advancing your pieces with absolutely no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this plan is when you think you might be able to shift your own pieces a lot faster than the opposing player does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Tactic
The main goal of the blocking strategy, by its title, is to block your opponent’s checkers, temporarily, not worrying about moving your chips quickly. After you have created the barrier for the opponent’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the board. The player really should also have a clear plan when to extract and move the checkers that you employed for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
