As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of winning, but the Back Game plan uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
