As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
