As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to shift your chips safely around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to round out your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the movement of the competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
