As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly 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 late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
