As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
