As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers 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 times. 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 shift their checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
