As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your home board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their chips toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last two Backgammon plans to complete your game.
The Priming Game Plan
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she ever attempts to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. Once you have successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to better your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic uses different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is commonly utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This technique is more difficult than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
