As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The aim is to move your checkers safely around the board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their home board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon strategies to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move their pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any movement of the opposing player by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. As soon as you’ve successfully assembled the prime to stop the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and toss the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The aims of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game strategy uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you need to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the pieces are relocated is partly the result of the dice roll.
