As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, 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 checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
