As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and good luck. The aim is to move your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at particular instances. Here are the two final Backgammon tactics to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the purpose of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his checkers, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if she at all attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the movement of the opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You’ll win the game for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game technique and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions in hope to improve your chances of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is often utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this plan, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single checker) late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
