As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your checkers safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their home board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular times. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to round out your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to absolutely block any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully built the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions in hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game technique utilizes seperate tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
