As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
