As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to toss the dice, and you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game tactic is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
