The Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two
by Caden on October 3rd, 2025
As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
