As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of the competitor, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is often employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
