As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
