As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
