As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need 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 play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
