As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final 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 chips, 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 chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
