The Running Game Plan

The goal of the Running Game plan is to entice all your chips into your home board and get them off as fast as you could. This strategy focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or barricade your competitor’s pieces. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you believe you can move your own chips quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Strategy

The primary goal of the blocking plan, by the name, is to stop your opponent’s pieces, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. After you have created the blockade for your competitor’s movement with a few checkers, you can move your other checkers quickly off the game board. The player should also have a good strategy when to withdraw and move the chips that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when your competitor utilizes the same blocking tactic.
