As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of skill and good luck. The goal is to move your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player checkers moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her chips, the Priming Game plan is to completely stop any activity of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of your opponent, your competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Tactic

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game strategy are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
