As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and luck. The goal 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 chips heading in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for particular strategies at particular times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to complete your game.
The Priming Game Strategy
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s pieces will either get bumped, or end up in a bad position if he ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the movement of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to toss the dice, that means you move your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Tactic
The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game plan relies on different techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is generally employed when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to hold 2 or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to use in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
