As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips moving in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever tries to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
