As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 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 play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
