As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
