The aim of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and pull those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works just as hard to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a round of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. Just how far you can shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing the dice, and how you move your chips are determined by your overall playing plans. Enthusiasts use a few tactics in the different parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Plan
The aim of the Running Game plan is to entice all your pieces into your inside board and get them off as quickly as you could. This technique focuses on the speed of advancing your chips with no time spent to hit or barricade your opponent’s checkers. The ideal time to employ this tactic is when you believe you can shift your own chips quicker than your opposition does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your opponent’s pieces; or 3) the opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking strategy.
The Blocking Game Plan
The primary aim of the blocking plan, by the name, is to block your competitor’s checkers, temporarily, while not worrying about shifting your pieces quickly. After you have created the barrier for your opponent’s movement with a couple of checkers, you can shift your other checkers quickly off the board. The player will need to also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the chips that you used for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when your competitor uses the same blocking tactic.
