As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
