As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
