As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
