As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building 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 at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. Once you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
