As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
