As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game plan uses alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
