As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
