As we have dicussed in the previous article, Backgammon is a game of talent and good luck. The aim is to shift your chips safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opposing player moves their pieces toward their inside board in the opposing direction. With opposing player pieces moving in opposite directions there is going to be conflict and the requirement for particular techniques at specific times. Here are the last two Backgammon strategies to complete your game.

The Priming Game Strategy

If the goal of the blocking plan is to slow down the opponent to shift her pieces, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she ever attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anywhere between point 2 and point eleven in your half of the board. As soon as you have successfully constructed the prime to stop the activity of your opponent, your competitor does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You will win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The aims of the Back Game strategy and the Blocking Game tactic are very similar – to hurt your opponent’s positions hoping to improve your chances of winning, but the Back Game strategy uses seperate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game technique is generally utilized when you’re far behind your opponent. To compete 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 plan is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon seeing as it requires careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are moved is partially the outcome of the dice toss.
