As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
