The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part Two


As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed 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 strategy is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
