As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
