As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
