As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition shifts their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely barricade any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your board. As soon as you have successfully built the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
