As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered 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 board. After you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
