As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 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 play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
