As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their pieces, the Priming Game tactic 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 ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is generally used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
