As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to hold 2 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 requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
