As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your pieces carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, 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 checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to stop the movement of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
