As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
