As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
