The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 1
March 11th, 2024 by Kaitlynn

The objective of a Backgammon game is to move your checkers around the game board and get those pieces from the game board faster than your opponent who works harder to attempt the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Succeeding in a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and fortune. Just how far you can shift your checkers is up to the numbers from rolling a pair of dice, and the way you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing tactics. Enthusiasts use different techniques in the differing stages of a match based on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The aim of the Running Game tactic is to entice all your checkers into your inside board and pull them off as quickly as you can. This strategy concentrates on the speed of advancing your chips with little or no time spent to hit or stop your opponent’s checkers. The best time to employ this technique is when you believe you can shift your own chips quicker than your opponent does: when 1) you have less pieces on the board; 2) all your checkers have past your opponent’s pieces; or 3) your opponent doesn’t employ the hitting or blocking technique.

The Blocking Game Technique

The primary aim of the blocking technique, by the title, is to block your competitor’s chips, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your checkers rapidly. Once you have established the blockage for the opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other checkers rapidly from the game board. You will need to also have an apparent plan when to back off and shift the checkers that you used for blocking. The game becomes intriguing when the opponent uses the same blocking strategy.
