As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
