Editing Tables game (section)

==== Hitting games ====
This is the standard tactic in games of [[contrary movement]] such as [[Backgammon]] where players move their pieces in opposing directions. In a [[hitting game]], the players may [[hit (tables game)|hit]] enemy [[blot (tables game)|blots]] off the board. To do this a point must be occupied by only one opposing piece – this is called a blot – and the attacking player must move a piece onto that point. The blot is "hit" or "knocked off" the board and is usually placed on the [[bar (tables game)|bar]] between the two halves of the board.
