As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
