As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
