As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her 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 competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
