As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
