As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely stop any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, however the Back Game technique relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
