As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic utilizes different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
