The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part 2

As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
