As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
