As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have 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 play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
