As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often used when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
