As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
