The Essential Facts of Backgammon Strategies – Part Two


As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
