As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 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 use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
