As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
