The Basics of Backgammon Strategies – Part 2
July 2nd, 2024 by Claudia

As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
