As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
