The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
by Caden on March 23rd, 2022
As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
