As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement 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 at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate 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 difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
