As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely 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 battered position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is often used when you are 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 strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
