As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
