As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to move her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely barricade any movement of the opponent 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 he ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the competitor, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The aims of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This tactic is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
