As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
