As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inside board while at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the aim of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a battered position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. Once you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this technique, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
