As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The aim is to shift your pieces safely around the game board to your inside board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for particular tactics at particular instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the purpose of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point two and point 11 in your board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, your opponent doesn’t even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game plan are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game strategy is commonly employed when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this plan, you need to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more complex than others to employ in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partly the outcome of the dice toss.
