As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
