As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
