The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
