The Essential Details of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two


As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a bad position if he ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique 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.
