As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
