As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and 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 strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
