As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of ability and good luck. The aim is to move your chips carefully around the game board to your inner board while at the same time your opposing player shifts their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips shifting in opposing directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific techniques at particular times. Here are the 2 final Backgammon techniques to round out your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the aim of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to move his chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely barricade any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or result a battered position if she ever tries to escape the wall. The ambush of the prime can be established anyplace between point two and point eleven in your game board. As soon as you have successfully assembled the prime to block the activity of the opponent, your opponent does not even get to roll the dice, that means you move your chips and toss the dice yet again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to hinder your opponent’s positions with hope to better your odds of succeeding, but the Back Game technique uses seperate tactics to do that. The Back Game technique is frequently utilized when you are far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this tactic, you have to control two or more points in table, and to hit a blot (a single piece) late in the game. This plan is more complex than others to use in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your checkers and how the pieces are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
