As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips 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. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
