As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
