As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The goal is to shift your pieces carefully around the board to your inner board while at the same time your opponent moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully built the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, 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 will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Technique
The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your competitor’s positions with hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your competitor. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more challenging than others to use in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are relocated is partly the result of the dice toss.
