The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game strategy is to lure all your checkers into your home board and pull them off as fast as you could. This plan concentrates on the speed of shifting your checkers with little or no efforts to hit or block your competitor's chips. The ideal time to use this tactic is when you think you might be able to move your own checkers faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have less checkers on the board; 2) all your pieces have moved beyond your competitor's pieces; or 3) the opposing player does not use the hitting or blocking tactic.

The Blocking Game Tactic

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its name, is to stop the opponent's pieces, temporarily, while not fretting about moving your pieces quickly. As soon as you've created the blockage for your opponent's movement with a couple of pieces, you can shift your other chips swiftly off the board. You should also have a good plan when to extract and move the pieces that you utilized for the blockade. The game becomes interesting when the opposition utilizes the same blocking strategy.
