As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built 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 roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
