As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
