As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any activity of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this tactic, 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 play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
