As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of ability and good luck. The aim is to shift your pieces carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposite direction. With opposing player chips heading in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Plan

If the goal of the blocking tactic is to slow down the opponent to move his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely barricade any movement of the opponent by creating a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get bumped, 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 two and point 11 in your game board. Once you have successfully built the prime to block the movement of your opponent, the competitor does not even get to roll the dice, and you shift your pieces and roll the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.

The Back Game Strategy

The goals of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game plan utilizes different tactics to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly used when you are far behind your opponent. To compete in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more difficult than others to play in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
