As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
