As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two 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 use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
