As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, or end up in a battered position if he/she at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point two and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly used when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
