The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
