As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, 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 because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
