As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
