As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
