As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
