As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific strategies at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his checkers, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic relies on alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
