The objective of a Backgammon match is to shift your chips around the game board and bear those pieces off the board faster than your challenger who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a game in Backgammon requires both strategy and good luck. How far you can shift your pieces is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and just how you move your pieces are determined by your overall gambling tactics. Players use a few strategies in the differing parts of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and get them off as quick as you can. This tactic concentrates on the pace of shifting your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your competitor’s pieces. The best scenario to use this technique is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers quicker than your opposing player does: when 1) you have less chips on the game board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s checkers; or 3) your opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about moving your pieces rapidly. As soon as you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to withdraw and shift the chips that you used for the blockade. The game becomes intriguing when the competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
