As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opponent shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at particular instances. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, 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 checkers will either get bumped, or result a battered position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of the competitor, the competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy utilizes alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the checkers are moved is partially the result of the dice toss.
