As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement 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 ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions in hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
