As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
