As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established 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 opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
