As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move their chips, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is often used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
