Rushing game
The Rush game is means you are working quick and hard, only thinking about getting all your checkers to your homebase. You should choose a running game when you have fewer pips remaining to get all your checkers off than your opponent, and you already have gotten all your checkers past your opponent or you can do it easily. Before engaging in a Running Game, it is important to evaluate the position of your checkers and decide whether it is at your advantage to do so.
While rushing, forget about building complexes of five checkers in a column. Hitting is not a good idea either, because opponent's checkers in your homebase could take advantage over your fuzzy movements toward your base and will start hitting blots.
Rushing have a good chance of winning you the game, but is depends dangerously on luck. If your opponent starts rolling doubles and have less pips then you, you may think about changing strategy.
