As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is generally used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
