As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposition moves their pieces toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point 11 in your game board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
