As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to complete your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get bumped, or end up in a damaged position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
