As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two 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 needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
