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

The Priming Game Plan

If the purpose of the blocking plan is to hamper the opponents ability to shift her chips, the Priming Game tactic is to completely stop any activity of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s checkers will either get hit, or result a damaged position if he/she at all attempts to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be built anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your game board. Once you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the movement of the competitor, your competitor does not even get to roll the dice, that means you shift your checkers and roll the dice again. You’ll win the game for sure.

The Back Game Technique

The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game technique are similar – to harm your competitor’s positions hoping to boost your chances of winning, however the Back Game tactic relies on alternate techniques to achieve that. The Back Game plan is commonly utilized 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 strategy is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it requires careful movement of your pieces and how the checkers are relocated is partially the result of the dice roll.
