As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a game of ability and pure luck. The goal is to move your pieces carefully around the game board to your home board while at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers 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 round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to move her pieces, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opposing player by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point eleven in your game board. After you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of your competitor, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You’ll be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Plan

The objectives of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game tactic are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions with hope to improve your chances of succeeding, but the Back Game tactic utilizes different tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently employed when you are far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this technique, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This technique is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your checkers and how the chips are moved is partially the result of the dice roll.
