As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to play 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.
