The Essential Details of Backgammon Tactics – Part 2
May 11th, 2025 by Princess

As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
