As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss 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 plan are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice toss.
