As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and pure luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opposition moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon plans to complete your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or result a damaged position if he at all attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your half of the board. After you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of your opponent, the opponent doesn’t even get to toss the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game technique utilizes alternate techniques to do that. The Back Game technique is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
