As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game plan is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
