As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino 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 opposing player moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
