As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block 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 end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
