As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss 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 tactic are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic uses different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
