As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a bad position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not 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 Plan

The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly employed when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
