As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic 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 (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
