As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
