As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
