As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
