As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
