As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need 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 employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
