As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
