As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
