As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
