As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opponent moves their checkers toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player pieces shifting in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular strategies at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the goal of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The ambush of the prime can be setup anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of your competitor, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hinder your competitor’s positions in hope to improve your odds of succeeding, however the Back Game technique uses alternate tactics to do that. The Back Game tactic is commonly utilized when you are far behind your opponent. To participate in Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the chips are relocated is partially the result of the dice toss.
