As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
