As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the two final Backgammon plans to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely block any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the movement of the competitor, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
