As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is often employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
