As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. 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 plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
