As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
