As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
