As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, 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 challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
