As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. Once you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partly the result of the dice roll.
