As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely block any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, and you move your chips 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 tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently used when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
