The Essential Basics of Backgammon Game Plans – Part Two
August 31st, 2015 by Kaitlynn

As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific 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 shift her checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
