As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of your competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 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 seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
