At the very very low level at which I have played, it is more of a waiting game, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, perhaps from paying inadequate attention and then trying to capitalize on it. On the higher levels of play it is rarely a swashbuckling affair, with almost no possibility for a player to win, if they by chance fall behind. There are no glorious fightbacks, come from behind wins in chess( at least none famous that I have heard of). Perhaps, having something like the 'doubling cube' in backgammon will add more excitement to tournaments.
