As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
