As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique uses alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate 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 complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
