As we dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a casino game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your checkers carefully around the game board to your inner board and at the same time your opposition moves their chips toward their inner board in the opposite direction. With opposing player pieces heading in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the requirement for specific tactics at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon plans to finish off your game.

The Priming Game Tactic

If the goal of the blocking strategy is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her checkers, the Priming Game strategy is to absolutely stop any activity of the opposing player by assembling a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if she ever attempts to escape the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point 11 in your board. After you’ve successfully constructed the prime to block the activity of the opponent, the competitor doesn’t even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The objectives of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game technique are very similar – to harm your competitor’s positions in hope to better your odds of winning, however the Back Game strategy relies on different techniques to do that. The Back Game tactic is frequently used when you’re far behind your competitor. To participate in Backgammon with this strategy, you have to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
