As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade 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 end up in a damaged position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
