As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
