As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the opponent does not even get a chance to roll the dice, and you shift your chips and roll the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your odds of winning, but the Back Game tactic uses different tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
