• While every game will have some elements of chance, the same may be substantially eliminated by using skills and knowledge of the game.
• Tactics that can be used: Keep one point close to the opposition's home to hit his point when he reaches near it. Hitting a point close to home will reduce the opposition's points by a lot. 2) Try and get to safe zones after every point roll to avoid being hit. 3) Target the points of players who are ahead in points. 4) Try and move at least one point towards the goal while keeping the rest of the points in defensive positions. 5) If you are ahead in points, take time in rolling the dice in order to make the clock run out. This won't give the opposition enough turns to make a difference. 6) You can even deliberately let 15 secs run out so that you don't have to make a move. This can be done if you don't want to make a move or want to give less time to the opponents. 7) If you are not rolling enough sixes and the opposition is getting better dice luck, switch your aim from getting to the goal to hitting the opponent's points. This will reduce their points and will make your points tally close.
