As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
